Quote by William Gurnall

We have peace with God as soon as we believe, but not always with ourselves. The pardon may be past the prince's hand and seal, and yet not put into the prisoner's hand.

We have peace with God as soon as we believe, but not always

Summary

This quote suggests that once we have faith and believe in God, we obtain peace with Him. However, inner peace within ourselves may not always be immediately achievable. It compares this situation to a pardoned prisoner who may have received the official document of pardon from the prince, but until it is physically handed to them, they may not experience complete peace. Similarly, while we may be forgiven by God, finding peace within ourselves can be a ongoing process that requires effort and self-reflection.
