True religion, he had long held, must involve the affections. The will must be radically transformed form its natural self-love to love to God. The great divide among people was between those whose hearts were enraptured by this love and beauty and those whose self-indulgent hearts rejected it. Whatever their relatively good intentions, persons who could not show heartfelt evidence of regeneration must be judged to be on the wrong side of this divide. - George Marsden, Jonathan Edwards: A Life, 352-353
