Jonathan Edwards, the 18th century theologian, is renowned, among many, for his commitment to Biblical fidelity, his keen theological insight, his deep love and knowledge of Jesus, and his desire to communicate God's truth to others that they may know and love Him, and live their lives to the fullest for His glory.
Joshua Harris posted the following quote from one of Edwards' books, called "Charity and Its Fruits". I found it quite a challenging quote, in many ways. What are your thoughts?
"Do you think the injuries you have received from your fellow-man are more than you have offered to God? Has your enemy been more base, more unreasonable, more ungrateful, than you have to the High and Holy One? Have his offenses been more heinous or aggravated, or more in number, than yours have been against your Creator, Benefactor, and Redeemer? Have they been more provoking and exasperating than your sinful conduct has been to him who is the author of all our mercies, and to whom you are under the highest obligations?"
