We are dependent on God’s power through every step of our redemption.

Jonathan Edwards

Seek not to grow in knowledge chiefly for the sake of applause, and to enable you to dispute with others; but seek it for the benefit of your souls.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Benefit Growth Knowledge Seek Yourself
To go to heaven, fully to enjoy God, is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodations here.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Better Enjoyment God Heaven Infinite
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
Resolved to live with all my might while I do live, and as I shall wish I had done ten thousand years hence.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Courage Live Myself
The way to Heaven is ascending; we must be content to travel uphill, though it be hard and tiresome, and contrary to the natural bias of our flesh.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Heaven Natural Ourselves Travel Way
Of all the knowledge that we can ever obtain, the knowledge of God, and the knowledge of ourselves, are the most important.

God Important Knowledge Ourselves
Prayer is as natural an expression of faith as breathing is of life.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Breathe Expression Life Natural Prayer
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.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Exercise Faith God Man Trust
I go out to preach with two propositions in mind. First, every person ought to give his life to Christ. Second, whether or not anyone else gives him his life, I will give him mine.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Life Mindset Myself Proposition
A true and faithful Christian does not make holy living an accidental thing. It is his great concern. As the business of the soldier is to fight, so the business of the Christian is to be like Christ.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Accident Business Faith Fight Himself Live Religious True
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.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Beautiful Creature Degree Delight God True
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

Follow God Love Man Stand
Resolved, never to do anything out of revenge.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Revenge Solution
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

Creation Display End Glorify Himself
From love arises hatred of those things which are contrary to what we love, or which oppose and thwart us in those things that we delight in.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Delight Hate Love Rise
