This collection of sermons by Jonathan Edwards includes his most important and impactful words on the nature, origin, and positive yields of charity. Included in this set are five sermons.

Jonathan Edwards uses his vast knowledge of theology, along with the direct words of Scripture, to paint a real picture of Heaven. A Biblically sound understanding not of what Heaven may look like but simply of what it is. A place that is home to a perfect God, a God that is love. The home of everlasting, sacrificial, all-consuming, unchanging, unconditional love. Edwards expounds on how the hypostatic union, the church here on Earth, the love of God, and other natures of the Trinity affect and establish the nature of Heaven, the eternal home of rest and joy for all believers.

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. Faith in God and acceptance of His will changes every detail of life, from conviction and temptation to spiritual knowledge and a life of obvious Godliness. Grace becomes a fruit of the everyday. Edwards breaks down this process and the changes one can expect and enjoy while living in true grace.

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.

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.

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.

Is economic—or broader—conflict, well beyond the trade and technology war that has already erupted, inevitable between the world’s two superpowers?
