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.

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.

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.

Edwards breaks down this process and the changes one can expect and enjoy while living in true grace.

Jonathan Edwards is often referred to as America’s greatest theologian. He lived from 1703-1758, and was used by God in the American Great Awakening. Justification by Faith Alone was a printed discourse based on the sermons he had preached on Justification during the 1730s that led to a great revival among the people in his area. This audiobook is read from Edwards’ original text with only a few minor changes to make it more understandable to the listener.

Jonathan Edwards, often referred to as America’s greatest theologian, lived from 1703-1758. He was wonderfully used by God in the American Great Awakening. This sermon is taken from Revelation 5:5-6, which pictures Jesus Christ as both a Lion and a Lamb. Using this dual imagery of the Lion and the Lamb, Edwards magnified Christ in his majestic person as both God and man. For the Christian, this sermon is pure exaltation, pure enjoyment, and pure worship.

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.
