More quotes by Jonathan Edwards
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
God’s purpose for my life was that I have a passion for God’s glory and that I have a passion for my joy in that glory, and that these two are one passion.
Jonathan Edwards
We must view humility as one of the most essential things that characterizes true Christianity.
Jonathan Edwards
He that lives a prayerless life, lives without God in the world.
Jonathan Edwards
Prayer is as natural an expression of faith as breathing is of life.
Jonathan Edwards
When God is about to do a great work, He pours out a spirit of supplication.
Jonathan Edwards
The bodies of those that made such a noise and tumult when alive, when dead, lie as quietly among the graves of their neighbors as any others.
Jonathan Edwards
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
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
Every Christian family ought to be as it were a little church.
Jonathan Edwards
Lord, stamp eternity on my eyeballs.
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
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
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
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
Jesus Christ is both the only price and sacrifice by which eternal redemption is obtained for believers.
Jonathan Edwards
Intend to live in continual mortification, and never to expect or desire any worldly ease or pleasure.
Jonathan Edwards
The happiness of the creature consists in rejoicing in God, by which also God is magnified and exalted.
Jonathan Edwards
Real pain can alone cure us of imaginary ills.
Jonathan Edwards
Of all the knowledge that we can ever obtain, the knowledge of God, and the knowledge of ourselves, are the most important.
