More quotes by Jonathan Edwards
Nature is God's greatest evangelist.
Jonathan Edwards
Prayer is as natural an expression of faith as breathing is of life.
Jonathan Edwards
The material universe exists only in the mind.
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
Of all the knowledge that we can ever obtain, the knowledge of God, and the knowledge of ourselves, are the most important.
Jonathan Edwards
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
The devil can counterfeit all the saving operations and graces of the Spirit of God.
Jonathan Edwards
The pleasures of humility are really the most refined, inward, and exquisite delights in the world.
Jonathan Edwards
Being sensible that I am unable to do any thing without God's help, I do humbly entreat Him, by His grace, to enable me to keep these Resolutions, so far as they are agreeable to His will, for Christ's sake.
Jonathan Edwards
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
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
To mark all that I say in conversation, merely to beget in others, a good opinion of myself, and examine it.
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
One of these grand defects, as I humbly conceive, is this, that children are habituated to learning without understanding.
Jonathan Edwards
By the grace of God we will never pluck unripe fruit. We will never press people to decision, because we'll lead them to damnation and not salvation.
Jonathan Edwards
True liberty consists only in the power of doing what we ought to will, and in not being constrained to do what we ought not to will
Jonathan Edwards
A man who knows that he lives in sin against God will not be inclined to come daily into the presence of God.
Jonathan Edwards
The best, most beautiful, and most perfect way that we have of expressing a sweet concord of mind to each other is by music.
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
True salvation always produces an abiding change of nature in a true convert. Therefore, whenever holiness of life does not accompany a confession of conversion, it must be understood that this individual is not a Christian.
