In his sermon on "Pressing Into the Kingdom of God," Edwards writes "There are probably some here present that are now concerned about their salvation, that never will obtain. It is not to be supposed that all that are now moved and awakened will ever be savingly converted. Doubtless there are many now seeking that will not be able to enter" (p.101).
One could attend church after church, week after week, and not here preaching like this today. If you are looking for an alternative to the seeker sensitive message of our time, then start reading Edwards. It will change your life and give you tremendous insight into how seriously the Puritans pursued godly living and personal holiness. Mostly importantly, it will challenge you to examine your own salvation to see if you are really in the faith.
"On Knowing Christ" is a collection of ten sermons.
I. Christian Knowledge
II. God Glorified in Man's Dependence
III. God Makes Men Sensible of Their Misery Before He Reveals His Mercy and Love
IV. Pressing Into the Kingdom of God
V. The Justice of God in the Damnation of Sinners
VI. Safety, Fullness, and Sweet Refreshment, To Be Found In Christ
VII. Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God
VIII. Christians a Chose Generation, A Royal Priesthood, A Holy Nation, A Peculiar People
IX. The End of the Wicked Contemplated By the Righteous
X. Pardon For the Greatest Sinners
But it is theologically accurate and does indeed present the glory and holiness of the Lord.
from a man of God who was given insight
into 'knowing Christ' - then Jonathan Edwards
book is a must read
It is not a large book, containing only 10 sermons preached between 1728 and 1741 but they serve as a great example of Edwards’s passion for exalting Christ, edifying the believer, awakening and warning the false convert and pleading with them to repent and come to Him for salvation. It is hard to imagine that the congregation that he faithfully served for approximately 25 years in Northampton, Massachusetts would so easily request for his removal due to the communion controversy when Edwards withheld the Lord’s Supper from those that gave no credible profession of their conversion.
One does not find many illustrations or pithy quotes in these sermons, but instead one is confronted with the doctrine defined from the text and applied directly to the heart of the reader. Edwards’ theology is firmly rooted in Calvinistic Theology, and for those that think that Calvinism does not believe in soul winning or reaching the lost, would be very much surprised in reading these sermons. In one particular sermon, there are about 10 pages where Edwards gives reason after reason as to why the unbeliever should come to Christ in a very compelling manner, which shows a great concern for the souls of men. It was this kind of preaching that God used mightily in the Great Awakening in the 1740s, in which Edwards figured prominently. The classic “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” is included in this collection. For me the standout one is “Christians A Chosen Generation, A Royal Priesthood, A Holy Nation, A Peculiar People” from 1 Peter 2:9, which is actually a compilation of 5 different messages. The book ends with the shortest sermon, approximately 10 pages called “Pardon For The Greatest Sinners,” from Psalm 25:11 that serves as a good example of the foundation that all of Edward’s sermons were built on.
