Jonathan Edwards

Jonathan Edwards
By Christ's purchasing redemption, two things are intended: his satisfaction and his merit the one pays our debt, and so satisfies the other procures our title, and so merits. The satisfaction of Christ is to free us from misery the merit of Christ is to purchase happiness for us.
Jonathan Edwards
There is nothing that keeps wicked men at any one moment out of hell, but the mere pleasure of God
Jonathan Edwards
If you seek in the spirit of selfishness, to grasp all as your own, you shall lose all, and be driven out of the world, at last, naked and forlorn, to everlasting poverty and contempt.
Jonathan Edwards
By the grace of God we will never pluck unripe fruit. We will never press people to decision, because we'll lead them to damnation and not salvation.
