More quotes by Jonathan Edwards
God is glorified not only by His glory being seen, but by its being rejoiced in.
Jonathan Edwards
Haste and escape for your lives, look not behind you, escape to the mountain, lest you be consumed.
Jonathan Edwards
He who does not know Him, knows nothing else as it truly is.
Jonathan Edwards
The wrath of God burns against them, their damnation does not slumber the pit is prepared, the fire is made ready, the furnace is now hot, ready to receive them the flames do now rage and glow.
Jonathan Edwards
Intend to live in continual mortification, and never to expect or desire any worldly ease or pleasure.
Jonathan Edwards
Nature is God's greatest evangelist.
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
All truth is given by revelation, either general or special, and it must be received by reason. Reason is the God-given means for discovering the truth that God discloses, whether in his world or his Word. While God wants to reach the heart with truth, he does not bypass the mind.
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.
Jonathan Edwards
Every Christian that goes before us from this world is a ransomed spirit waiting to welcome us in heaven.
Jonathan Edwards
The happiness of the creature consists in rejoicing in God, by which also God is magnified and exalted.
Jonathan Edwards
The view of the misery of the damned will double the ardour of the love and gratitude of the saints of heaven.
Jonathan Edwards
Resolved, never to do anything which I should be afraid to do if it were the last hour of my life.
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
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
The enjoyment of God is the only happiness with which our souls can be satisfied.
Jonathan Edwards
Truth is the agreement of our ideas with the ideas of God.
Jonathan Edwards
In all your course, walk with God and follow Christ as a little, poor, helpless child, taking hold of Christ's hand, keeping your eye on the mark of the wounds on his hands and side, whence came the blood that cleanses you from sin and hiding your nakedness under the skirt of the white shining robe of his righteousness.
Jonathan Edwards
Resolution One: I will live for God. Resolution Two: If no one else does, I still will.
Jonathan Edwards
To mark all that I say in conversation, merely to beget in others, a good opinion of myself, and examine it.
