True virtue never appears so lovely as when it is most oppressed and the divine excellency of real Christianity is never exhibited with such advantage as when under the greatest trials then it is that true faith appears much more precious than gold, and upon this account is found to praise and honour and glory.
Jonathan Edwards

Jonathan Edwards
Image
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
Image
A greater absurdity cannot be thought of than a morose, hardhearted, covetous, proud, malicious Christian.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
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
Image
He that sees the beauty of holiness or true moral good ,sees the greatest and most important thing in the world.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Sincere friendship towards God, in all who believe him to be properly an intelligent, willing being, does most apparently, directly, and strongly incline to prayer and it no less disposes the heart strongly to desire to have our infinitely glorious.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
There is a difference between having a rational judgment that honey is sweet, and having a sense of its sweetness

Image
Unconverted men walk over the pit of hell on a rotten covering.
