Jonathan Edwards

Jonathan Edwards

Jonathan Edwards

Jonathan Edwards
Almost all men, and those that seem to be very miserable, love life, because they cannot bear to lose sight of such a beautiful and lovely world. The ideas, that every moment whilst we live have a beauty that we take not distinct notice of, brings a pleasure that, when we come to the trial, we had rather live in much pain and misery than lose.
Jonathan Edwards
The ingenerating of a principle of grace in the soul seems in Scripture to be compared to the conceiving of Christ in the womb... And the conception of Christ in the womb of the blessed virgin by the power of the Holy Ghost, seems to be a designed resemblance of the conception of Christ in the soul of a believer by the power of the same Holy Ghost.
Jonathan Edwards
Every Christian family ought to be as it were a little church.
Jonathan Edwards
Grace is but glory begun, and glory is but grace perfected.
Jonathan Edwards
God’s purpose for my life was that I have a passion for God’s glory and that I have a passion for my joy in that glory, and that these two are one passion.
Jonathan Edwards
The bodies of those that made such a noise and tumult when alive, when dead, lie as quietly among the graves of their neighbors as any others.
Jonathan Edwards
The beauty of the world consists wholly of sweet mutual consents, either within itself or with the supreme being.
Jonathan Edwards
The smallest sin is an act of Cosmic Treason against a Holy God.
Jonathan Edwards
Consider that as a principle of love is the main principle in the heart of a real Christian, so the labor of love, is the main business of the Christian life.
Jonathan Edwards
Resolved, never to do anything which I should be afraid to do if it were the last hour of my life.
Jonathan Edwards
There is nothing that keeps wicked men at any one moment out of hell, but the mere pleasure of God
Jonathan Edwards
