More quotes by Jonathan Edwards

Image
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
Image
I know not how to express better, what my sins appear to me to be, than by heaping infinite upon infinite, and multiplying infinite by infinite . . . When I look into my heart and take a view of my wickedness, it looks like an abyss infinitely deeper than hell.

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

Jonathan Edwards
Image
Truth is the agreement of our ideas with the ideas of God.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Resolved, never to count that a prayer, nor to let that pass as a prayer, nor that as a petition of a prayer, which is so made, that I cannot hope that God will answer it nor that as a confession, which I cannot hope God will accept.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
The smallest sin is an act of Cosmic Treason against a Holy God.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
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
Image
Resolution One: I will live for God. Resolution Two: If no one else does, I still will.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Those who are in a state of salvation are to attribute it to sovereign grace alone, and to give all the praise to Him who maketh them to differ from others.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
The beauty of the world consists wholly of sweet mutual consents, either within itself or with the supreme being.
