More quotes by Jonathan Edwards
When God is about to do a mighty new thing He always sets His people praying.
Jonathan Edwards
Being sensible that I am unable to do any thing without God's help, I do humbly entreat Him, by His grace, to enable me to keep these Resolutions, so far as they are agreeable to His will, for Christ's sake.
Jonathan Edwards
Resolved, never to lose one moment of time but improve it the most profitable way I possibly can.
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.
Jonathan Edwards
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
To go to heaven, fully to enjoy God, is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodations here.
Jonathan Edwards
Consider that as a principle of love is the main principle in the heart of a real Christian, so the labor of love, is the main business of the Christian life.
Jonathan Edwards
Haste and escape for your lives, look not behind you, escape to the mountain, lest you be consumed.
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
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
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
God is glorified not only by His glory being seen, but by its being rejoiced in.
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
Unconverted men walk over the pit of hell on a rotten covering.
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
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
If the case be such indeed, that all mankind are by nature in a state of total ruin, then, doubtless,the great salvation by Christ stands in direct relation to this ruin, as the remedy to the disease.
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
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
