"Whatever effort people make to be religious or to pray, until they believe in Christ, God is under no obligation to keep them for a moment from eternal destruction."

Upon reading his sermon, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) would observe people weeping, crying, falling down in repentance, and crying out to God for forgiveness. Pastor of First Church of Northampton, Massachusetts, Edwards was a leader in the First Great Awakening with George Whitefield. Being dismissed from his pulpit, Edwards become a missionary and later president of the College of New Jersey (Princeton University).

These classic messages of Jonathan Edwards include:

• The Final Judgment
• Justification by Faith (2 sermons)
• Jesus Christ, the Same Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
• God, the Best Portion of the Christian
• The Preciousness of Time and the Importance of Redeeming It
• The Excellency of Christ
• Christians—A Chosen Generation; A Peculiar People; A Royal Priesthood; A Holy Nation

For more than two centuries, Jonathan Edwards' messages have brought conversion, hope and spiritual awakening to the generations.

Born in East Windsor, Connecticut, in 1703, Edwards was the only son of the Reverend Timothy Edwards and Esther Stoddard Edwards. He was a dedicated student and scholar from his early youth, well before he entered Yale University at the age of thirteen. Despite his scholarly bent, however, he was also philosophical, and he had an appetite for the divine. In 1729, after earning a Master of Divinity from Yale, Edwards succeeded his grandfather, the famed Solomon Stoddard, as full pastor of the First Church of Northampton, Massachusetts. In the twenty-four years that he lived in Northampton, Edwards was deeply concerned with the nature of true religion. Edwards was keenly aware of the fact that true religion had to be lived out, and he set forth to transform his congregation, as well as congregations throughout New England, from believers who only understood Christian doctrine to converted Christians who were truly moved by their beliefs.
