More quotes by Jonathan Edwards
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
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
Prayer is as natural an expression of faith as breathing is of life.
Jonathan Edwards
When God is about to do a mighty new thing He always sets His people praying.
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
Resolved, when I feel pain, to think of the pains of martyrdom, and of hell.
Jonathan Edwards
He that has doctrinal knowledge and speculation only, without affection, never is engaged in the business of religion.
Jonathan Edwards
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
When God is about to do a great work, He pours out a spirit of supplication.
Jonathan Edwards
Real pain can alone cure us of imaginary ills.
Jonathan Edwards
The devil can counterfeit all the saving operations and graces of the Spirit of God.
Jonathan Edwards
Truth is the agreement of our ideas with the ideas of God.
Jonathan Edwards
We must view humility as one of the most essential things that characterizes true Christianity.
Jonathan Edwards
It is not by telling people about ourselves that we demonstrate our Christianity. Words are cheap. It is by costly, self-denying Christian practice that we show the reality of our faith.
Jonathan Edwards
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
Resolved, to examine carefully, and constantly, what that one thing in me is, which causes me in the least to doubt the love of God and to direct all my forces against it.
Jonathan Edwards
He who does not know Him, knows nothing else as it truly is.
Jonathan Edwards
Resolution One: I will live for God. Resolution Two: If no one else does, I still will.
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
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.
