More quotes by Jonathan Edwards
The smallest sin is an act of Cosmic Treason against a Holy God.
Jonathan Edwards
Nature is God's greatest evangelist.
Jonathan Edwards
Resolved, to endeavor to obtain for myself as much happiness, in the other world, as I possibly can.
Jonathan Edwards
Among the many acts of gratitude we owe to God, it may be accounted one to study and contemplate the perfections and beauties of His work of creation. Every new discovery must necessarily raise in us a fresh sense of the greatness, wisdom, and power of God.
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
I frequently hear persons in old age say how they would live, if they were to live their lives over again: Resolved, That I will live just so as I can think I shall wish I had done, supposing I live to old age.
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
He that sees the beauty of holiness or true moral good ,sees the greatest and most important thing in the world.
Jonathan Edwards
Holiness appeared to me to be of a sweet, pleasant, charming, serene, calm nature which brought an inexpressible purity, brightness, peacefulness and ravishment to the soul.
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
We must view humility as one of the most essential things that characterizes true Christianity.
Jonathan Edwards
Resolved, never to lose one moment of time but improve it the most profitable way I possibly can.
Jonathan Edwards
The devil can counterfeit all the saving operations and graces of the Spirit of God.
Jonathan Edwards
Almost every natural man that hears of hell, flatters himself that he shall escape it.
Jonathan Edwards
True salvation always produces an abiding change of nature in a true convert. Therefore, whenever holiness of life does not accompany a confession of conversion, it must be understood that this individual is not a Christian.
Jonathan Edwards
In all your course, walk with God and follow Christ as a little, poor, helpless child, taking hold of Christ's hand, keeping your eye on the mark of the wounds on his hands and side, whence came the blood that cleanses you from sin and hiding your nakedness under the skirt of the white shining robe of his righteousness.
Jonathan Edwards
A man who knows that he lives in sin against God will not be inclined to come daily into the presence of God.
Jonathan Edwards
All truth is given by revelation, either general or special, and it must be received by reason. Reason is the God-given means for discovering the truth that God discloses, whether in his world or his Word. While God wants to reach the heart with truth, he does not bypass the mind.
Jonathan Edwards
The ingenerating of a principle of grace in the soul seems in Scripture to be compared to the conceiving of Christ in the womb... And the conception of Christ in the womb of the blessed virgin by the power of the Holy Ghost, seems to be a designed resemblance of the conception of Christ in the soul of a believer by the power of the same Holy Ghost.
Jonathan Edwards
The happiness of the creature consists in rejoicing in God, by which also God is magnified and exalted.
Jonathan Edwards
