The end of the creation is that the creation might glorify God. Now what is glorifying God, but a rejoicing at that glory he has displayed?

Jonathan Edwards

A sinner is not justified before God (coram Deo) apart from the righteousness of Christ apprehended by faith.

The Spirit of God is given to the true saints to dwell in them as his proper lasting abode to dwell in them and to influence their hearts as a principle of new nature or as a divine supernatural spring of life and action.

You have reason to wonder that you are not already in hell.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Hell Reason Wonder Yourself
As God delights in his own beauty, he must necessarily delight in the creature’s holiness which is a conformity to and participation of it, as truly as [the] brightness of a jewel, held in the sun’s beams, is a participation or derivation of the sun’s brightness, though immensely less in degree.

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

Happiness Misery Ourselves Purchase Satisfaction
Jesus Christ is both the only price and sacrifice by which eternal redemption is obtained for believers.

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

Resolved, never to speak evil of anyone, so that it shall tend to his dishonor, more or less, upon no account except for some real good.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Almost every natural man that hears of hell, flatters himself that he shall escape it.
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.
