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

Trust in God and ye need not fear.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
When God is about to do a mighty new thing He always sets His people praying.
Jonathan Edwards
Image

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
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.
Jonathan Edwards
Image

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
One of these grand defects, as I humbly conceive, is this, that children are habituated to learning without understanding.
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
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 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
Image
God is glorified not only by His glory being seen, but by its being rejoiced in.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Every Christian that goes before us from this world is a ransomed spirit waiting to welcome us in heaven.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
We must view humility as one of the most essential things that characterizes true Christianity.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Intend to live in continual mortification, and never to expect or desire any worldly ease or pleasure.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
True liberty consists only in the power of doing what we ought to will, and in not being constrained to do what we ought not to will
