Jonathan Edwards

You contribute nothing to your salvation except the sin that made it necessary.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Contribute Necessary Salvation Yourself
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
The material universe exists only in the mind.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Existence Material Mindset Universe
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
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
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.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Change Confession Nature Production Religious True
There is a difference between having a rational judgment that honey is sweet, and having a sense of its sweetness.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Difference Judgement Sweet
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

Cheap Faith Ourselves People Practice Reality
God’s purpose for my life was that I have a passion for God’s glory and that I have a passion for my joy in that glory, and that these two are one passion.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Glory God Life Oneself Passion Purpose
Resolved, when I feel pain, to think of the pains of martyrdom, and of hell.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Feeling Hell Myself Pain Thinking
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
Nature is God’s greatest evangelist.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

God Greatness Nature
Every Christian family ought to be as it were a little church.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

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

Beautiful Holy Important World
Spiritual delight in God arises chiefly from his beauty and perfection, not from the blessings he gives us.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Beautiful Blessing Delight God Himself Rise Spiritual
