Image
Every Christian family ought to be as it were a little church.
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
Intend to live in continual mortification, and never to expect or desire any worldly ease or pleasure.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
The Spirit of God is given to the true saints to dwell in them as his proper lasting abode to dwell in them and to influence their hearts as a principle of new nature or as a divine supernatural spring of life and action.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
He that lives a prayerless life, lives without God in the world.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
The bow of God's wrath is bent, and His arrows made ready upon the string. Justice points the arrow at your heart and strings the bow. It is nothing but the mere pleasure of God (and that of an angry God without any promise or obligation at all) that keeps the arrow one moment from being made drunk with your blood.
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
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
Grace is but glory begun, and glory is but grace perfected.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
We must view humility as one of the most essential things that characterizes true Christianity.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Christ gives peace to the most sinful and miserable that come to Him. He heals the broken in heart and binds up their wounds.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Love is no ingredient in a merely speculative faith, but it is the life and soul of a practical faith.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
The happiness of the creature consists in rejoicing in God, by which also God is magnified and exalted.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
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
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
God is glorified not only by His glory being seen, but by its being rejoiced in.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Christ is the true light of the world it is through him alone that true wisdom is imparted to the mind.
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
A greater absurdity cannot be thought of than a morose, hardhearted, covetous, proud, malicious Christian.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
The material universe exists only in the mind.
