Christ is the true light of the world; it is through him alone that true wisdom is imparted to the mind.
JONATHAN EDWARDSAs 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.

-
I know not how to express better, what my sins appear to me to be, than by heaping infinite upon infinite, and multiplying infinite by infinite. When I look into my heart and take a view of my wickedness, it looks like an abyss infinitely deeper than hell.
JONATHAN EDWARDS -
Lord, stamp eternity on my eyeballs.
JONATHAN EDWARDS -

JONATHAN EDWARDS -
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 -

JONATHAN EDWARDS -
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 -
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 -
Resolved, never to do anything out of revenge.
JONATHAN EDWARDS -
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 -
He that lives a prayerless life, lives without God in the world.
JONATHAN EDWARDS -
The enjoyment of God is the only happiness with which our souls can be satisfied.
JONATHAN EDWARDS -
Christ gives peace to the most sinful and miserable that come to Him. He heals the broken in heart and binds up their wounds.
