Mining Grace

…the more happiness you have, the more I shall count myself glorified

Resolution 4 - Jonathan Edwards

Resolved, never to do any manner of thing, whether in soul or body, less or more, but what tends to the glory of God, nor be, nor suffer it, if I can possibly avoid it.

- Jonathan Edwards, The Works of Jonathan Edwards (Hendrickson: Peabody, 2000), 1.lxii.

This single note–the glory of God–marks not only the entirety of Edwards’s work but also the main point of the Bible and the chief end of man.
