The happiness of the creature consists in rejoicing in God, by which also God is magnified and exalted.
Jonathan EdwardsWhy should not He had made all things, still having something immediately to do with the things that He has made? Where lies the great difficulty, if we own the being of a God, that He created all things out of nothing, I'll be allowing something immediate influence of God on creation still?
Jonathan EdwardsA man who knows that he lives in sin against God will not be inclined to come daily into the presence of God.
