If you long to be more like Christ — then act like Him, and walk as He walked.
— Jonathan Edwards
Loving God
See to it that there is nothing that stands in any competition with God in your esteem; value Him more than all riches; value His honor and glory more than all the world; be ready at all times to part with all things else, and cleave to God.
— Jonathan Edwards
Prayer
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
