While the idea that God created the world for His glory may seem obvious to some and perhaps confusing to others, Jonathan Edwards describes this beautiful premise with Scriptural evidence and in a completely revelatory way. In detailing not only the nature of God, but also of creation, humans, and individual will, Edwards shows that God’s purpose of bringing Himself glory works also, ultimately, for the fulfillment of all creation’s joy.

Here Jonathan Edwards discusses the nature and strength of charity and its resilience to all adversities. While there are a great many things that may attempt to challenge, overwhelm, destroy, and confuse grace and love, it is impossible to entirely snuff out that great gift from God. Not only will charity live on, it will prove again and again to be victorious over evil.

Walking the road of the straight and narrow is known for both blessings and miracles as well as hardships and sacrifices. Jonathan Edwards lovingly expresses the ways in which God’s children must put aside selfish desires and reactions when injured or experiencing hardships in life. To humbly and maturely respond to the difficulties in life is a fruit of the Spirit and a light to unbelievers. Edwards explains in great detail how and why Christians must respond in such a way to injury and mistreatment.

Jonathan Edwards intelligently and thoroughly explains the process through which salvation becomes a life transforming event. It is a constant and evident miracle to experience saving grace. Faith in God and acceptance of His will changes every detail of life, from conviction and temptation to spiritual knowledge and a life of obvious Godliness. Grace becomes a fruit of the everyday. Edwards breaks down this process and the changes one can expect and enjoy while living in true grace.

Using the testimony of Ruth, Jonathan Edwards urges nonbelievers to leave their comfort zones, their presumptions, and their ignorance to follow a God who already loves them and desires only faith and obedience. The promises of the Savior are immediately available and life changing in the most positive ways imaginable. All that is required is the choice to accept this gift. Ruth does so in a tangible, brave, and beautiful way that serves as an excellent example to all.

In this important work by Jonathan Edwards, the truth and importance of love is laid out plainly for the Christian to understand. While there are many ways of seeing God’s influence in the lives of His children, charity is the most consistent and most crucial. Love, or charity, is not only the greatest commandment and most important virtue but it is also the foundation of all other virtues and ways of Christian living. Edwards details how real love is from the Spirit and is evident in all true believers and influences every aspect of life.
