If there be ground for you to trust, as you do, in your own righteousness, then all that Christ did to purchase salvation, and all that God did from the fall of man to prepare the way for it, is in vain. Consider what greater folly could you have devised to charge upon God than this, that all those things were done so needlessly; when, instead of all this, He might only have called you forth, and committed the business to you, which you think you can do so easily.
Jonathan EdwardsThere is nothing that keeps wicked men at any one moment out of hell, but the mere pleasure of God
Jonathan EdwardsA greater absurdity cannot be thought of than a morose, hardhearted, covetous, proud, malicious Christian.
