More quotes by Jonathan Edwards
The material universe exists only in the mind.
Jonathan Edwards
Love is no ingredient in a merely speculative faith, but it is the life and soul of a practical faith.
Jonathan Edwards
When God is about to bestow some great blessing on His church, it is often His manner, in the first place, so to order things in His providence as to show His church their great need of it, and to bring them into distress for want of it, and so put them upon crying earnestly to Him for it.
Jonathan Edwards
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.
Jonathan Edwards
Of all the knowledge that we can ever obtain, the knowledge of God, and the knowledge of ourselves, are the most important.
Jonathan Edwards
To live with all my might, while I do live
Jonathan Edwards
By Christ's purchasing redemption, two things are intended: his satisfaction and his merit the one pays our debt, and so satisfies the other procures our title, and so merits. The satisfaction of Christ is to free us from misery the merit of Christ is to purchase happiness for us.
Jonathan Edwards
The happiness of the creature consists in rejoicing in God, by which also God is magnified and exalted.
Jonathan Edwards
Resolved, to endeavor to obtain for myself as much happiness, in the other world, as I possibly can.
Jonathan Edwards
Seek not to grow in knowledge chiefly for the sake of applause, and to enable you to dispute with others but seek it for the benefit of your souls.
Jonathan Edwards
The devil can counterfeit all the saving operations and graces of the Spirit of God.
Jonathan Edwards
Religion, in its purity, is not so much a pursuit as a temper or rather it is a temper, leading to the pursuit of all that is high and holy. Its foundation is faith its action, works its temper, holiness its aim, obedience to God in improvement of self, and benevolence to men.
Jonathan Edwards
There is a difference between having a rational judgment that honey is sweet, and having a sense of its sweetness
Jonathan Edwards
Holiness appeared to me to be of a sweet, pleasant, charming, serene, calm nature which brought an inexpressible purity, brightness, peacefulness and ravishment to the soul.
Jonathan Edwards
We must view humility as one of the most essential things that characterizes true Christianity.
Jonathan Edwards
The pleasures of humility are really the most refined, inward, and exquisite delights in the world.
Jonathan Edwards
One of these grand defects, as I humbly conceive, is this, that children are habituated to learning without understanding.
Jonathan Edwards
God is glorified not only by His glory being seen, but by its being rejoiced in.
Jonathan Edwards
It is not by telling people about ourselves that we demonstrate our Christianity. Words are cheap. It is by costly, self-denying Christian practice that we show the reality of our faith.
Jonathan Edwards
Haste and escape for your lives, look not behind you, escape to the mountain, lest you be consumed.
Jonathan Edwards
