There is no way that Christians, in a private capacity, can do so much to promote the work of God and advance the kingdom of Christ as by prayer.

Jonathan Edwards

Almost every natural man that hears of hell, flatters himself that he shall escape it.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Escape Hell Himself Man Natural
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.

Resolved, never to speak evil of anyone, so that it shall tend to his dishonor, more or less, upon no account except for some real good.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

The happiness of the creature consists in rejoicing in God, by which also God is magnified and exalted.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Holiness appeared to me to be of a sweet, pleasant, charming, serene, calm nature; which brought an inexpressible purity, brightness, peacefulness and ravishment to the soul.

By the grace of God we will never pluck unripe fruit. We will never press people to decision, because we’ll lead them to damnation and not salvation.

Resolved, never to do anything which I should be afraid to do if it were the last hour of my life.

Nothing is more certain than that there must be an unmade and unlimited being.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Human Limitation
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

He that sees the beauty of holiness or true moral good, sees the greatest and most important thing in the world.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

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
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

Faith Foundation God Improvement Obedience Purity Pursuit Religion
Love is no ingredient in a merely speculative faith, but it is the life and soul of a practical faith.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

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!
