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
Image
Unconverted men walk over the pit of hell on a rotten covering.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
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
Image
Intend to live in continual mortification, and never to expect or desire any worldly ease or pleasure.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
The smallest sin is an act of Cosmic Treason against a Holy 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
Almost every natural man that hears of hell, flatters himself that he shall escape it.
