Ripe for Damnation Quotes

“I. Inquire wherein the declension and deadness of a people in the things of religion appears.               I answer, first. When a people grow cold and dead with respect to religion, there generally is but little said about it. There will be but little said about it in families. And when neighbors meet, you shall hear but little talk about soul concerns; all the talk will be about the world. They will be full of talk about their worldly business, about this and the other worldly design, about buying and selling. Or their tongues will be yet worse employed, in talking against their neighbor.”
― Jonathan Edwards, Ripe for Damnation: Sermons on the Book of Revelation

“Those who are backslidden are much more hardened in their sin than they were before. They are like iron which being once heated and cooled again becomes much harder than before.”
― Jonathan Edwards, Ripe for Damnation: Sermons on the Book of Revelation

“The Rich man was let alone in his sin suffered to go on without molestation. He fared sumptuously every day, slept secure and expected no disturbance. And the first of his awaking out of his security was when he lifted up his eyes that were now opened being in torments.”
