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 (1703–1758)
Humility
A truly humble man is sensible of his natural distance from God; of his dependence on Him; of the insufficiency of his own power and wisdom; and that it is by God’s power that he is upheld and provided for, and that he needs God’s wisdom to lead and guide him, and His might to enable him to do what he ought to do for Him.
— Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758)
Jesus Christ
Christ is not only a remedy for your weariness and trouble, but he will give you an abundance of the contrary, joy and delight. They who come to Christ, do no only come to a resting-place after they have been wandering in a wilderness, but they come to a banqueting-house where they may rest, and where they may feast. They may cease from their former troubles and toils, and they may enter upon a course of delights and spiritual joys.
— Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758)
God’s Sovereignty
Absolute sovereignty is what I love to ascribe to God. God’s sovereignty has ever appeared to me, a part of his glory. It has often been my delight to approach God, and adore him as a sovereign God.
— Jonathan Edwards
God’s Love
When God converts and saves a sinner, it is a wonderful and unspeakable manifestation of divine love. When a poor lost soul is brought home to Christ, and has all his sins forgiven him, and is made a child of God, it will take up a whole eternity to express and declare the greatness of that love.
— Jonathan Edwards
