Nature is God’s greatest evangelist.

Jonathan Edwards

Love is no ingredient in a merely speculative faith, but it is the life and soul of a practical faith.

JONATHAN EDWARDS

The God that holds you over the pit of hell, much as one holds a spider… abhors you, and is dreadfully provoked: his wrath towards you burns like fire; he looks upon you as worthy of nothing else, but to be cast into the fire.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

True salvation always produces an abiding change of nature in a true convert. Therefore, whenever holiness of life does not accompany a confession of conversion, it must be understood that this individual is not a Christian.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Being sensible that I am unable to do any thing without God’s help, I do humbly entreat Him, by His grace, to enable me to keep these Resolutions, so far as they are agreeable to His will, for Christ’s sake.
