When God is about to do a great work, He pours out a spirit of supplication.

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

Change Confession Nature Production Religious True
Temples have their images; and we see what influence they have always had over a great part of mankind. But, in truth, the ideas and images in men’s minds are the invisible powers that constantly govern them; and to these they all pay universally a ready submission.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Govern Image Influence Submission Temple Universe
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

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

True boldness for Christ transcends all, it is indifference to the displeasure of either friends or foes. Boldness enables Christians to forsake all rather than Christ, and to prefer to offend all rather than to offend Him.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Bold Himself Offend Transcendence True
Men will trust in God no further than they know Him; and they cannot be in the exercise of faith in Him one ace further than they have a sight of His fulness and faithfulness in exercise.

If you long to be more like Christ, then act like Him, and walk as He walked.

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.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Resolved, when I feel pain, to think of the pains of martyrdom, and of hell.

Find preachers of David Brainerd’s spirit, and nothing can stand before them. Let us be followers of him, as he was of Christ, in absolute self-devotion, in total deadness to the world, and in fervent love to God and man.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Resolved to live with all my might while I do live, and as I shall wish I had done ten thousand years hence.
