Jonathan Edwards

Being sensible that I am unable to do any thing without God’s help, I do humbly entreat Him, by His grace, to enable me to keep these Resolutions, so far as they are agreeable to His will, for Christ’s sake.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Agree Grace Humble Resolution Sensible
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
Resolved, never to lose one moment of time; but improve it the most profitable way I possibly can.

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.

They who truly come to God for mercy, come as beggars, and not as creditors: they come for mere mercy, for sovereign grace, and not for anything that is due

I resolve to live with all my might while I do live. I resolve never to lose one moment of time and to improve my use of time in the most profitable way I possibly can. I resolve never to do anything I wouldn’t do, if it were the last hour of my life.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Live Lose Moments Myself Possible
You all have by you a large treasure of divine knowledge, in that you have the Bible in your hands; therefore be not contented in possessing but little of this treasure.

We must view humility as one of the most essential things that characterizes true Christianity.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

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

God Greatness Spirit
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

Appearance Better Expression Heart Hell Known Sin View
I make it my rule, to lay hold of light and embrace it, wherever I see it, though held forth by a child or an enemy.
JONATHAN EDWARDS
