More quotes by Jonathan Edwards

Image
In all your course, walk with God and follow Christ as a little, poor, helpless child, taking hold of Christ's hand, keeping your eye on the mark of the wounds on his hands and side, whence came the blood that cleanses you from sin and hiding your nakedness under the skirt of the white shining robe of his righteousness.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
The devil can counterfeit all the saving operations and graces of the Spirit of God.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Trust in God and ye need not fear.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
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
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
Image
Lord, stamp eternity on my eyeballs.
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 make it my rule, to lay hold of light and embrace it, wherever I see it, though held forth by a child or an enemy.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
He that lives a prayerless life, lives without God in the world.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Unconverted men walk over the pit of hell on a rotten covering.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Godliness is more easily feigned in words than in actions
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
When I am giving the relation of a thing, remember to abstain from altering either in the matter or manner of speaking, so much, as that, if every one, afterwards, should alter as much, it would at last come to be properly false.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
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
Image
No degree of speculative knowledge of religion is any certain sign of true piety.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Haste and escape for your lives, look not behind you, escape to the mountain, lest you be consumed.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
The enjoyment of God is the only happiness with which our souls can be satisfied.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
Resolved, when I feel pain, to think of the pains of martyrdom, and of hell.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
One requirement to be used as a leader in a movement of revival: They must have the Spirit of God upon them.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
The view of the misery of the damned will double the ardour of the love and gratitude of the saints of heaven.
