This sermon truly helped me to see how truly ungrateful i have been to Christ in light of Him saving me at 48 years old. Im 56 now and God has blessed me far beyond what I have ever deserved. It really got me to open my spiritual eyes in how i am actively treating Christ. May God forgive me. Life has been so different since the death of my brother. I am the only one in my family left. And God was still so merciful to put me in a small church family with the dearest friends i have ever had in my life. I Praise God He promises to continue to sanctify me until the Day of Redemption when I will be in His Presence. But it truly got me to realize how little I value God in a manner in which I should. Thank you Lord for opening my eyes through Your Word in this sermon to see so much i have been so blind of. May God bless you all in Christ.
I was going to have to read this sermon for a seminary course, but praise God that you posted this. I have a much easier time listening to Jonathan Edwards than reading him.
I recently encountered a self-styled "Christian universalist." But that same evening, I came across these words from the evangelists' Matthew and Mark: Mat26:24 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born. Mrk14:21 The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born. Open question to any that would assert the universal salvation of all men: Without trying to suggest that Jesus was merely using a common idiom and wasn't being literal (Christ never utters idle words on any matter, how much less on one of such importance); without making such an appeal to "casual idiom" (like David Bentley Hart), please explain how it could be the case that these two things could both be true: 1. Judas will enjoy an eternity of days in heavenly bliss AND 2. It would have been better for Judas Iscariot not to have been born. Thanks

Love these sermons! They set my soul on fire for gratitude and repentance. This is raw truth and I love it
Edwards is so direct and pointed - an all-time great proclaimer of the Word.

That’s legendary
Love Love GODS Grace and Mercy for all of Us who Accept it..
Amen.
There is a cross ➕ of forgiveness today but eternity tomorrow there is no cross ➕ from hell to heaven a gulf is fixed
