Bible Note: A rich contribution Joe. Jonathan Edwards is my favorite preacher, theologian, writer, philosopher. You are abundantly clear about the idea of his expanding on the truths of God's grace, and yes, sweetness is used quite often. One can't do a fair job of preaching grace unless one has developed the antithesis of grace, being the offense of sin and the result that sin will get. |
