More quotes by Jonathan Edwards
The smallest sin is an act of Cosmic Treason against a Holy God.
Jonathan Edwards
He, whose heart is fixed, trusting in Christ, need not be afraid.
Jonathan Edwards
The devil can counterfeit all the saving operations and graces of the Spirit of God.
Jonathan Edwards
Resolution One: I will live for God. Resolution Two: If no one else does, I still will.
Jonathan Edwards
The view of the misery of the damned will double the ardour of the love and gratitude of the saints of heaven.
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
There is no way that Christians, in a private capacity, can do so much to promote the work of God and advance the kingdom of Christ as by prayer.
Jonathan Edwards
Haste and escape for your lives, look not behind you, escape to the mountain, lest you be consumed.
Jonathan Edwards
Those who are in a state of salvation are to attribute it to sovereign grace alone, and to give all the praise to Him who maketh them to differ from others.
Jonathan Edwards
Jesus Christ is both the only price and sacrifice by which eternal redemption is obtained for believers.
Jonathan Edwards
True boldness for Christ transcends all, it is indifference to the displeasure of either friends or foes. Boldness enables Christians to forsake all rather than Christ, and to prefer to offend all rather than to offend Him.
Jonathan Edwards
All truth is given by revelation, either general or special, and it must be received by reason. Reason is the God-given means for discovering the truth that God discloses, whether in his world or his Word. While God wants to reach the heart with truth, he does not bypass the mind.
Jonathan Edwards
Godliness is more easily feigned in words than in actions
Jonathan Edwards
Resolved, to endeavor to obtain for myself as much happiness, in the other world, as I possibly can.
Jonathan Edwards
Trust in God and ye need not fear.
Jonathan Edwards
Spiritual delight in God arises chiefly from his beauty and perfection, not from the blessings he gives us.
Jonathan Edwards
Love is no ingredient in a merely speculative faith, but it is the life and soul of a practical faith.
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 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
Intend to live in continual mortification, and never to expect or desire any worldly ease or pleasure.
Jonathan Edwards
