If we make a great show of respect and love to God, in the outward actions, while there is no sincerity in the heart, it is but hypocrisy and practical lying unto the Holy One. Jonathan Edwards
To go to heaven, fully to enjoy God, is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodations here. 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 I go out to preach with two propositions in mind. First, every person ought to give his life to Christ. Second, whether or not anyone else gives him his life, I will give him mine.
Jonathan Edwards The smallest sin is an act of cosmic treason against a Holy God. Jonathan Edwards Christ gives peace to the most sinful and miserable that come to Him. He heals the broken in hearts and binds up their wounds. Jonathan Edwards
Trust in God and ye need not fear. Jonathan Edwards He, whose heart is fixed, trusting in Christ, need not be afraid. Jonathan Edwards The door of God’s mercy is thrown wide open, and Christ stands in the door and says to sinners ‘Come.’ Jonathan Edwards Christ is an ever-flowing fountain. They who live upon Christ may have fresh supplies from him to all eternity; they may have an increase of blessedness that is new and which never will come to an end. Jonathan Edwards
Christ is like a river. A river is continually flowing, there are fresh supplies of water coming from the fountainhead continually, so that a man may live by it, and be supplied with water all his life. Jonathan Edwards Nothing sets a person so much out of the devil’s reach as humility. Jonathan Edwards They who truly come to God for mercy, come as beggars, and not as creditors: they come for mere mercy, for sovereign grace, and not for anything that is due Jonathan Edwards True salvation always produces an abiding change of nature in a true convert. Therefore, whenever the holiness of life does not accompany a confession of conversion, it must be understood that this individual is not a Christian. Jonathan Edwards He that lives a prayerless life, lives without God in the world. Jonathan Edwards We are dependent on God’s power through every step of our redemption. Jonathan Edwards Truth is the agreement of our ideas with the ideas of God. Jonathan Edwards You have reason to wonder that you are not already in Hell. Jonathan Edwards He who has Christ has all he needs and needs no more. Jonathan Edwards Of all the knowledge that we can ever obtain, the knowledge of God, and the knowledge of ourselves, are the most important. Jonathan Edwards
A truly humble man is sensible of his natural distance from God; of his dependence on Him; of the insufficiency of his own power and wisdom; and that it is by God’s power that he is upheld and provided for, and that he needs God’s wisdom to lead and guide him Jonathan Edwards
