More quotes by Jonathan Edwards

Jonathan Edwards

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
Resolved, never to count that a prayer, nor to let that pass as a prayer, nor that as a petition of a prayer, which is so made, that I cannot hope that God will answer it nor that as a confession, which I cannot hope God will accept.
Jonathan Edwards
He who does not know Him, knows nothing else as it truly is.
Jonathan Edwards
One requirement to be used as a leader in a movement of revival: They must have the Spirit of God upon them.
Jonathan Edwards
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
The godly are designed for unknown and inconceivable happiness.
Jonathan Edwards
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
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
The enjoyment of God is the only happiness with which our souls can be satisfied.
