More quotes by Jonathan Edwards
To mark all that I say in conversation, merely to beget in others, a good opinion of myself, and examine it.
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
He that lives a prayerless life, lives without God in the world.
Jonathan Edwards
The beauty of the world consists wholly of sweet mutual consents, either within itself or with the supreme being.
Jonathan Edwards
Love is no ingredient in a merely speculative faith, but it is the life and soul of a practical faith.
Jonathan Edwards
Jesus Christ is both the only price and sacrifice by which eternal redemption is obtained for believers.
Jonathan Edwards
The happiness of the creature consists in rejoicing in God, by which also God is magnified and exalted.
Jonathan Edwards
The God that holds you over the pit of hell, much as one holds a spider... abhors you, and is dreadfully provoked: his wrath towards you burns like fire he looks upon you as worthy of nothing else, but to be cast into the fire.
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
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
Truth is the agreement of our ideas with the ideas of God.
Jonathan Edwards
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
Nature is God's greatest evangelist.
Jonathan Edwards
Haste and escape for your lives, look not behind you, escape to the mountain, lest you be consumed.
Jonathan Edwards
The godly are designed for unknown and inconceivable happiness.
Jonathan Edwards
Temples have their images and we see what influence they have always had over a great part of mankind. But, in truth, the ideas and images in men's minds are the invisible powers that constantly govern them and to these they all pay universally a ready submission.
Jonathan Edwards
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
There is nothing that keeps wicked men at any one moment out of hell, but the mere pleasure of God
Jonathan Edwards
Who will deny that true religion consists, in a great measure, in vigorous and lively actings of the inclination and will of the soul, or the fervent exercises of the heart? That religion which God requires, and will accept, does not consist in weak, dull, and lifeless, wishes, raising us but a little above a state of indifference.
Jonathan Edwards
The seeking of the kingdom of God is the chief business of the Christian life
Jonathan Edwards
