His endeavours after holiness are no mire the self-conscious strivings of a moralist: rather they are the response of love to the God who had made him a new creature in Jesus Christ. Sanctification he saw now as a personal experience flowing from communion with God and fellowship with Christ. In his Diary he can write: ‘I think I find in my heart to be glad from the hopes I have that my eternity is to be spent in spiritual and holy joys, arising from the manifestation of God’s love, and the exercise of holiness and burning love to him’.
- Ian Murray, Jonathan Edwards: A New Biography, 44.
