Fri.-Sabbath, 4/5-7/24 Devotion

Praise God—Sunday is almost here. In order to help get us ready for the church’s Sabbath Worship of The Triune God, here are some really great words from the eminent Jonathan Edwards, found in his, “Standing In Grace” book. . . .

“That principle which is in the soul of the saints, which is the grand Christian virtue, and which is the soul and essence and summary comprehension of all grace, is a principle of divine love. This is evident because we are abundantly taught in the Scripture that divine love is the sum of all duty; and that all that God requires of us is fulfilled in it. Love is the sum of all the duty of the heart, and its exercises and fruits the sum of all the duty of life. But if the duty of the heart, or all due dispositions of hearts, are all summed up in love, then un-doubtedly all grace may be summed up in love."
