Resolved, to endeavor to obtain for myself as much happiness, in the other world, as I possibly can.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
He that has doctrinal knowledge and speculation only, without affection, never is engaged in the business of religion.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
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
Image
The ingenerating of a principle of grace in the soul seems in Scripture to be compared to the conceiving of Christ in the womb... And the conception of Christ in the womb of the blessed virgin by the power of the Holy Ghost, seems to be a designed resemblance of the conception of Christ in the soul of a believer by the power of the same Holy Ghost.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
I make it my rule, to lay hold of light and embrace it, wherever I see it, though held forth by a child or an enemy.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Grace is the seed of glory, the dawning of glory in the heart, and therefore grace is the earnest of the future inheritance.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
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
Image
We cannot believe that the church of God is already possessed of all that light which God intends to give it nor that all Satan's lurking places have already been found out.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
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
Image
To mark all that I say in conversation, merely to beget in others, a good opinion of myself, and examine it.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Resolved, to confess frankly to myself all that which I find in myself, either infirmity or sin and, if it be what concerns religion, also to confess the whole case to God, and implore needed help.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
The seeking of the kingdom of God is the chief business of the Christian life
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Almost every natural man that hears of hell, flatters himself that he shall escape it.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
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
Image
The view of the misery of the damned will double the ardour of the love and gratitude of the saints of heaven.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Resolution One: I will live for God. Resolution Two: If no one else does, I still will.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
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
Image
The enjoyment of God is the only happiness with which our souls can be satisfied.
