More quotes by Jonathan Edwards

Image
The view of the misery of the damned will double the ardour of the love and gratitude of the saints of heaven.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
There is nothing that keeps wicked men at any one moment out of hell, but the mere pleasure of God
Jonathan Edwards
Image
The smallest sin is an act of Cosmic Treason against a Holy God.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
The Spirit of God is given to the true saints to dwell in them as his proper lasting abode to dwell in them and to influence their hearts as a principle of new nature or as a divine supernatural spring of life and action.
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
Resolved, never to lose one moment of time but improve it the most profitable way I possibly can.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
If you seek in the spirit of selfishness, to grasp all as your own, you shall lose all, and be driven out of the world, at last, naked and forlorn, to everlasting poverty and contempt.
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
Every Christian family ought to be as it were a little church.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Almost every natural man that hears of hell, flatters himself that he shall escape it.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
I resolve to live with all my might while I do live. I resolve never to lose one moment of time and to improve my use of time in the most profitable way I possibly can. I resolve never to do anything I wouldn't do, if it were the last hour of my life.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
One requirement to be used as a leader in a movement of revival: They must have the Spirit of God upon them.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Who will deny that true religion consists, in a great measure, in vigorous and lively actings of the inclination and will of the soul, or the fervent exercises of the heart? That religion which God requires, and will accept, does not consist in weak, dull, and lifeless, wishes, raising us but a little above a state of indifference.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
The bow of God's wrath is bent, and His arrows made ready upon the string. Justice points the arrow at your heart and strings the bow. It is nothing but the mere pleasure of God (and that of an angry God without any promise or obligation at all) that keeps the arrow one moment from being made drunk with your blood.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
We must view humility as one of the most essential things that characterizes true Christianity.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
There is a difference between having a rational judgment that honey is sweet, and having a sense of its sweetness
Jonathan Edwards
Image
The enjoyment of God is the only happiness with which our souls can be satisfied.
