We are dependent on the power of God to convert us and give faith in Jesus Christ and the new nature.

Jonathan Edwards

Creditor Due God Grace Mercy True

Intend to live in continual mortification, and never to expect or desire any worldly ease or pleasure.

Godliness is more easily feigned in words than in actions.
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

Happiness Misery Ourselves Purchase Satisfaction
The godly are designed for unknown and inconceivable happiness.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Design God Happiness Unknown
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

Appearance Charm Holy Soul
Nothing is more certain than that there must be an unmade and unlimited being.
