There are people who love those who agree with them and admire them, but have no time for those who oppose and dislike them. A Christian’s love must be universal!

Jonathan Edwards

The view of the misery of the damned will double the ardour of the love and gratitude of the saints of heaven.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Gratitude Heaven Love Misery View
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.

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.

The best, most beautiful, and most perfect way that we have of expressing a sweet concord of mind to each other is by music.

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
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

Cheap Faith Ourselves People Practice Reality
