Jonathan Edwards
Image
The devil can counterfeit all the saving operations and graces of the Spirit of God.
Jonathan Edwards
Image

Jonathan Edwards
Image
Grace is but glory begun, and glory is but grace perfected.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Every Christian that goes before us from this world is a ransomed spirit waiting to welcome us in heaven.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
A true love for God must begin with a delight in His holiness, and not with a delight in any other attribute for no other attribute is truly lovely without this.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
One of these grand defects, as I humbly conceive, is this, that children are habituated to learning without understanding.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
If the case be such indeed, that all mankind are by nature in a state of total ruin, then, doubtless,the great salvation by Christ stands in direct relation to this ruin, as the remedy to the disease.
