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
The seeking of the kingdom of God is the chief business of the Christian life

Jonathan Edwards
Image
The bodies of those that made such a noise and tumult when alive, when dead, lie as quietly among the graves of their neighbors as any others.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Temples have their images and we see what influence they have always had over a great part of mankind. But, in truth, the ideas and images in men's minds are the invisible powers that constantly govern them and to these they all pay universally a ready submission.
Jonathan Edwards

Jonathan Edwards
Image
True virtue never appears so lovely as when it is most oppressed and the divine excellency of real Christianity is never exhibited with such advantage as when under the greatest trials then it is that true faith appears much more precious than gold, and upon this account is found to praise and honour and glory.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Lord, stamp eternity on my eyeballs.
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
Haste and escape for your lives, look not behind you, escape to the mountain, lest you be consumed.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
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
Image
From love arises hatred of those things which are contrary to what we love, or which oppose and thwart us in those things that we delight in.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Christ is the true light of the world it is through him alone that true wisdom is imparted to the mind.
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
Resolution One: I will live for God. Resolution Two: If no one else does, I still will.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
He, whose heart is fixed, trusting in Christ, need not be afraid.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Grace is the seed of glory, the dawning of glory in the heart, and therefore grace is the earnest of the future inheritance.
