Jonathan Edwards Quotes About Church

Quotes about: Church

• It is God’s will through His wonderful grace, that the prayers of His saints should be one of the great principal means of carrying on the designs of Christ’s kingdom in the world. When God has something very great to accomplish for His church, it is His will that there should precede it the extraordinary prayers of His people; as is manifest by Ezekiel 36:37. and it is revealed that, when God is about to accomplish great things for His church, He will begin by remarkably pouring out the spirit of grace and supplication (see Zechariah 12:10).

• Every Christian family ought to be as it were a little church, consecrated to Christ, and wholly influenced and governed by his rules.

If these are duly maintained, all the means of grace will be likely to prosper and be successful.
