Thoughts on Revival
“It is the mature fruit which comes afterwards, and not the beautiful colours and smell of blossoms, that we must judge by” -Jonathan Edwards
There are many things in the word of God, showing that when God remarkably appears in any great work for his church…it is a most dangerous thing, and highly provoking to God, to be slow and backward to acknowledge and honour God in the work.
“
| — | Jonathan Edwards (Thoughts On The Revival) |
It is evident, by both Scripture and reason, that God is infinitely, eternally, unchangeably, and independantly glorious and happy

The greatest injuries recieved from men are justly and even kindly ordered of God, and so be far from any ruffle or tumult of mind on account of them.

The knowledge which the saints have of God’s beauty and glory in this world, and those holy affections that arise from it, are of the same nature and kind with what the saints are the subjects of in heaven, differing only in degree and circumstance. What God gives them here, is a foretaste of heavenly
happiness, and an earnest of their future inheritance.
