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.

This is the quintessential hellfire and damnation sermon. It is one of the most important sermons ever preached in America and reportedly caused mass conversions and repentances during the "Great Awakening" back in 1741. The vivid imagery Edwards used reportedly made some of those who heard it tremble and cry out for mercy. It is an important piece of American Literature, even for those those who totally disagree with the author's view of God as vengeful, angry and a bit cruel.

Jonathan Edwards lived from 1703-1758, and was used by God in the American Great Awakening. He is often referred to as America’s greatest theologian. This sermon was preached to encourage every person to make every effort to get into the kingdom of God—that none should be left out. Edwards opened the sermon by defining “pressing into” the kingdom, explaining why every one should earnestly seek it. He reminded the hearers that, by nature, all are in a perishing necessity of salvation, utterly lost when outside the kingdom.

Jonathan Edwards, often referred to as America’s greatest theologian, lived from 1703-1758, and was used by God in the American Great Awakening. This sermon warmly encourages every person to make the same kind of effort that Ruth made in leaving her people and country to join herself to God and his people in Israel. Edwards used a variety of things to stimulate the unbeliever toward faith and repentance, such as: the goodness of God, the happiness of his people, the misery of turning back as Orpah did, and the earnest desire of God’s people for every hearer to be saved.

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.

This collection of sermons by Jonathan Edwards includes his most important and impactful words on the nature, origin, and positive yields of charity. Included in this set are five sermons.

Jonathan Edwards uses his vast knowledge of theology, along with the direct words of Scripture, to paint a real picture of Heaven. A Biblically sound understanding not of what Heaven may look like but simply of what it is. A place that is home to a perfect God, a God that is love. The home of everlasting, sacrificial, all-consuming, unchanging, unconditional love. Edwards expounds on how the hypostatic union, the church here on Earth, the love of God, and other natures of the Trinity affect and establish the nature of Heaven, the eternal home of rest and joy for all believers.

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.
