Seven Resolves Of Jonathan Edwards (1703 – 1758)
Jonathan Edwards, perhaps more than any other person, laid the foundation of Christianity in early America. He, along with George Whitefield affected “The Great Awakening,” the first of several major revivals in the USA.
- “Resolved, never to do any manner of thing, whether in soul or body, less or more, but what tends to the glory of God… “
Jesus: “I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.” (John 17:4b) (See Matthew 5:16; 1 Corinthians 6:20; Galatians 6:14; Philippians 1:11; 1 Peter 2:12)
- “Resolved, never to give over, nor in the least to slacken my fight with my corruptions, however unsuccessful I may be.”
“Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness.” (Romans 6:13) (See Romans 6:6, 14; 7:15-23; 8:1, 2; Galatians 5:16-18, 24; 2 Timothy 4:7; 1 Peter 2:11)
- “Resolved, never to speak evil of anyone, so that it shall tend to his dishonor… “
“Get rid of all… slander… ” (Ephesians 4:31b) (See Proverbs 11:9; Titus 3:2; 1 Timothy 5:13; 1 Peter 3:16)
- “Resolved, to study the Scriptures so steadily, constantly and frequently, as that I may find, and plainly perceive myself to grow in the knowledge of the same.”
“Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.” (Acts 17:11) (See Psalm 1:1, 2; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 1 Peter 1:10-12; 2 Peter 1:19)
- “Resolved, to examine carefully, and constantly, what that one thing in me is, which causes me in the least to doubt of the love of God; and to direct all my forces against it.”
“Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test?” (2 Corinthians 13:5) (See Psalm 26:2; Lamentations 3:40)
- “Resolved, to strive my utmost every week to be brought… to a higher exercise of grace… “
“Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ… ” (2 Peter 3:18b)
- “Resolved, never henceforward, until I die, to act as if I were any way my own, but entirely and altogether God’s.”
“For none of us lives to himself alone and none of us dies to himself alone. If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord… We belong to the Lord.” (Romans 14:7, 8a,c) (See 1 Chronicles 29:14; Luke 9:23, 24; Romans 12:2; 14:7-9; 2 Corinthians 5:15; Colossians 3:17)
Beloveth… this is a man that resolved to please God by the way he lived… Are we going to make same resolve?…To serve God with His Will in the center of our “Will” also amen….
Do you want Him to glorify and honour you as He did His Son Jesus Christ… Resolve to live an impactful life especially to the kingdom…. Alleluia Amen!!! Praise the Name of the Lord…
