The deceitfulness of the heart of man appears in no one thing so much as this of spiritual pride and self-righteousness. The subtlety of Satan appears in its height, in his managing persons with respect to this sin. And perhaps one reason may be that here he has most experience; he knows the way of its coming in; he is acquainted with the secret springs of it: it was his own sin. Experience gives vast advantage in leading souls, either in good or evil.
Jonathan EdwardsWe must view humility as one of the most essential things that characterizes true Christianity.
Jonathan EdwardsIf 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 EdwardsI make it my rule, to lay hold of light and embrace it, wherever I see it, though held forth by a child or an enemy.
