More quotes by Jonathan Edwards
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
Unconverted men walk over the pit of hell on a rotten covering.
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
Grace is but glory begun, and glory is but grace perfected.
Jonathan Edwards
It is not by telling people about ourselves that we demonstrate our Christianity. Words are cheap. It is by costly, self-denying Christian practice that we show the reality of our faith.
Jonathan Edwards
Haste and escape for your lives, look not behind you, escape to the mountain, lest you be consumed.
Jonathan Edwards
Among the many acts of gratitude we owe to God, it may be accounted one to study and contemplate the perfections and beauties of His work of creation. Every new discovery must necessarily raise in us a fresh sense of the greatness, wisdom, and power of God.
Jonathan Edwards
Love is no ingredient in a merely speculative faith, but it is the life and soul of a practical faith.
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
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
Nature is God's greatest evangelist.
Jonathan Edwards
Christ gives peace to the most sinful and miserable that come to Him. He heals the broken in heart and binds up their wounds.
Jonathan Edwards
A true love for God must begin with a delight in His holiness, and not with a delight in any other attribute for no other attribute is truly lovely without this.
Jonathan Edwards
Holiness appeared to me to be of a sweet, pleasant, charming, serene, calm nature which brought an inexpressible purity, brightness, peacefulness and ravishment to the soul.
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
One requirement to be used as a leader in a movement of revival: They must have the Spirit of God upon them.
Jonathan Edwards
There is a difference between having a rational judgment that honey is sweet, and having a sense of its sweetness
Jonathan Edwards
If you seek in the spirit of selfishness, to grasp all as your own, you shall lose all, and be driven out of the world, at last, naked and forlorn, to everlasting poverty and contempt.
Jonathan Edwards
Resolved, when I feel pain, to think of the pains of martyrdom, and of hell.
Jonathan Edwards
A greater absurdity cannot be thought of than a morose, hardhearted, covetous, proud, malicious Christian.
