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
Humility
A truly Christian love, either to God or men, is a humble broken-hearted love. The desires of the saints, however earnest, are humble desires. Their hope is a humble hope; and their joy, even when it is unspeakable and full of glory, is a humble broken-hearted joy, and leaves the Christian more poor in spirit, and more like a little child, and more disposed to a universal lowliness of behaviour.
— Jonathan Edwards
Spiritual Warfare
God has appointed this whole life to be all as a race or a battle; the state of rest, wherein we shall be so out of danger as to have no need of watching and fighting, is for another world.
— Jonathan Edwards
God’s Holiness
A true love for God must begin with a delight in His holiness, and not with a delight in any other attribute; for no other attribute is truly lovely without this.
— Jonathan Edwards
Good Deeds
If there be ground for you to trust in your own righteousness, then all that Christ did to purchase salvation, and all that God did to prepare the way for it, is in vain.
— Jonathan Edwards
