More quotes by Jonathan Edwards

Jonathan Edwards
Jesus Christ is both the only price and sacrifice by which eternal redemption is obtained for believers.
Jonathan Edwards
Lord, stamp eternity on my eyeballs.
Jonathan Edwards
He that has doctrinal knowledge and speculation only, without affection, never is engaged in the business of religion.
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
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
He, whose heart is fixed, trusting in Christ, need not be afraid.

Jonathan Edwards
Resolved, to endeavor to obtain for myself as much happiness, in the other world, as I possibly can.
Jonathan Edwards
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
Haste and escape for your lives, look not behind you, escape to the mountain, lest you be consumed.
Jonathan Edwards
The godly are designed for unknown and inconceivable happiness.
Jonathan Edwards
When God is about to do a mighty new thing He always sets His people praying.
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
