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.

More quotes by Jonathan Edwards
To go to heaven, fully to enjoy God, is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodations here.
Jonathan Edwards
The way to Heaven is ascending we must be content to travel uphill, though it be hard and tiresome, and contrary to the natural bias of our flesh.
Jonathan Edwards
Truth is the agreement of our ideas with the ideas of God.
Jonathan Edwards
Haste and escape for your lives, look not behind you, escape to the mountain, lest you be consumed.
Jonathan Edwards
Every Christian family ought to be as it were a little church.
Jonathan Edwards
God’s purpose for my life was that I have a passion for God’s glory and that I have a passion for my joy in that glory, and that these two are one passion.
Jonathan Edwards
Religion, in its purity, is not so much a pursuit as a temper or rather it is a temper, leading to the pursuit of all that is high and holy. Its foundation is faith its action, works its temper, holiness its aim, obedience to God in improvement of self, and benevolence to men.
Jonathan Edwards
But it is doubtless true, and evident from [the] Scriptures, that the essence of all true religion lies in holy love and that in this divine affection, and an habitual disposition to it, and that light which is the foundation of it, and those things which are the fruits of it, consists the whole of religion.
Jonathan Edwards
By Christ's purchasing redemption, two things are intended: his satisfaction and his merit the one pays our debt, and so satisfies the other procures our title, and so merits. The satisfaction of Christ is to free us from misery the merit of Christ is to purchase happiness for us.
Jonathan Edwards
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
Jonathan Edwards
Grace is the seed of glory, the dawning of glory in the heart, and therefore grace is the earnest of the future inheritance.
Jonathan Edwards
God is glorified not only by His glory being seen, but by its being rejoiced in.
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
Resolved, when I feel pain, to think of the pains of martyrdom, and of hell.
Jonathan Edwards
The best, most beautiful, and most perfect way that we have of expressing a sweet concord of mind to each other is by music.
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
When God is about to bestow some great blessing on His church, it is often His manner, in the first place, so to order things in His providence as to show His church their great need of it, and to bring them into distress for want of it, and so put them upon crying earnestly to Him for it.
Jonathan Edwards
Trust in God and ye need not fear.
Jonathan Edwards
One of these grand defects, as I humbly conceive, is this, that children are habituated to learning without understanding.
Jonathan Edwards
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
