A sinner is not justified before God (coram Deo) apart from the righteousness of Christ apprehended by faith.
Jonathan EdwardsConsider that as a principle of love is the main principle in the heart of a real Christian, so the labor of love, is the main business of the Christian life.
Jonathan EdwardsAll truth is given by revelation, either general or special, and it must be received by reason. Reason is the God-given means for discovering the truth that God discloses, whether in his world or his Word. While God wants to reach the heart with truth, he does not bypass the mind.
Jonathan EdwardsThere is a difference between having a rational judgment that honey is sweet, and having a sense of its sweetness
