More quotes by Jonathan Edwards
When God is about to do a mighty new thing He always sets His people praying.
Jonathan Edwards
One of these grand defects, as I humbly conceive, is this, that children are habituated to learning without understanding.
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
The beauty of the world consists wholly of sweet mutual consents, either within itself or with the supreme being.
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
I resolve to live with all my might while I do live. I resolve never to lose one moment of time and to improve my use of time in the most profitable way I possibly can. I resolve never to do anything I wouldn't do, if it were the last hour of my life.
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
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
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
I claim no right to myself, no right to this understanding, this will, these affections that are in me. Neither do I have any right to this body or its members, no right to this tongue, to these hands, feet, ears or eyes. I have given myself clear away and not retained anything of my own.
Jonathan Edwards
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
Unconverted men walk over the pit of hell on a rotten covering.
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
True boldness for Christ transcends all, it is indifference to the displeasure of either friends or foes. Boldness enables Christians to forsake all rather than Christ, and to prefer to offend all rather than to offend Him.
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
To live with all my might, while I do live
Jonathan Edwards
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.
Jonathan Edwards
Resolved, to examine carefully, and constantly, what that one thing in me is, which causes me in the least to doubt the love of God and to direct all my forces against it.
Jonathan Edwards
He that lives a prayerless life, lives without God in the world.
Jonathan Edwards
