More quotes by Jonathan Edwards

Image
We must view humility as one of the most essential things that characterizes true Christianity.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
A truly humble man is sensible of his natural distance from God of his dependence on Him of the insufficiency of his own power and wisdom and that it is by God's power that he is upheld and provided for, and that he needs God's wisdom to lead and guide him, and His might to enable him to do what he ought to do for Him.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Christ is the true light of the world it is through him alone that true wisdom is imparted to the mind.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Truth is the agreement of our ideas with the ideas of God.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Prayer is as natural an expression of faith as breathing is of life.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Resolved, never to count that a prayer, nor to let that pass as a prayer, nor that as a petition of a prayer, which is so made, that I cannot hope that God will answer it nor that as a confession, which I cannot hope God will accept.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
From love arises hatred of those things which are contrary to what we love, or which oppose and thwart us in those things that we delight in.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
To go to heaven, fully to enjoy God, is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodations here.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Every Christian that goes before us from this world is a ransomed spirit waiting to welcome us in heaven.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Almost every natural man that hears of hell, flatters himself that he shall escape it.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Among the many acts of gratitude we owe to God, it may be accounted one to study and contemplate the perfections and beauties of His work of creation. Every new discovery must necessarily raise in us a fresh sense of the greatness, wisdom, and power of God.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Resolved, never to do anything which I should be afraid to do if it were the last hour of my life.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Resolution One: I will live for God. Resolution Two: If no one else does, I still will.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
I frequently hear persons in old age say how they would live, if they were to live their lives over again: Resolved, That I will live just so as I can think I shall wish I had done, supposing I live to old age.
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
The God that holds you over the pit of hell, much as one holds a spider... abhors you, and is dreadfully provoked: his wrath towards you burns like fire he looks upon you as worthy of nothing else, but to be cast into the fire.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
He that has doctrinal knowledge and speculation only, without affection, never is engaged in the business of religion.
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
Nature is God's greatest evangelist.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
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.
