More quotes by 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
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
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
Christ is the true light of the world it is through him alone that true wisdom is imparted to the mind.
Jonathan Edwards
Lord, stamp eternity on my eyeballs.
Jonathan Edwards
Jesus Christ is both the only price and sacrifice by which eternal redemption is obtained for believers.
Jonathan Edwards
Trust in God and ye need not fear.
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
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
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
Sincere friendship towards God, in all who believe him to be properly an intelligent, willing being, does most apparently, directly, and strongly incline to prayer and it no less disposes the heart strongly to desire to have our infinitely glorious.
Jonathan Edwards
When I am giving the relation of a thing, remember to abstain from altering either in the matter or manner of speaking, so much, as that, if every one, afterwards, should alter as much, it would at last come to be properly false.
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
Godliness is more easily feigned in words than in actions
Jonathan Edwards
Prayer is as natural an expression of faith as breathing is of life.
Jonathan Edwards
We must view humility as one of the most essential things that characterizes true Christianity.
Jonathan Edwards
Resolution One: I will live for God. Resolution Two: If no one else does, I still will.
Jonathan Edwards
The beauty of the world consists wholly of sweet mutual consents, either within itself or with the supreme being.
Jonathan Edwards
I know not how to express better, what my sins appear to me to be, than by heaping infinite upon infinite, and multiplying infinite by infinite . . . When I look into my heart and take a view of my wickedness, it looks like an abyss infinitely deeper than hell.
Jonathan Edwards
Haste and escape for your lives, look not behind you, escape to the mountain, lest you be consumed.
Jonathan Edwards
