Among the many acts of gratitude we owe to God, it may be accounted one to study and contemplate the perfections and beauties of His work of creation. Every new discovery must necessarily raise in us a fresh sense of the greatness, wisdom, and power of God.

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.

Of all the knowledge that we can ever obtain, the knowledge of God, and the knowledge of ourselves, are the most important.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

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

Bold Himself Offend Transcendence True
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.

I frequently hear persons in old age say how they would live, if they were to live their lives over again: Resolved, That I will live just so as I can think I shall wish I had done, supposing I live to old age.

Nothing sets a person so much out of the devil’s reach as humility.

Every Christian that goes before us from this world is a ransomed spirit waiting to welcome us in heaven.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

If we make a great show of respect and love to God, in the outward actions, while there is no sincerity in the heart, it is but hypocrisy and practical lying unto the Holy One.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Action Greatness Love Lying Oneself Practice Respect
Nothing is more certain than that there must be an unmade and unlimited being.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

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.
