Jonathan Edwards

Den 8 juli 1741 höll Jonathan Edwards sin berömda predikan Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God i Enfield, Connecticut. I denna gripande och kraftfulla predikan skildrar Edwards Guds rättfärdiga vrede och Helvetets fruktansvärda verklighet. Målet var att väcka sina åhörare till en djup insikt om hur allvarligt det är att leva i synd utan omvändelse. Medan han på sitt typiska sätt, lugnt och stilla läste upp predikan för församlingen, verkade Guds Ande så starkt genom förkunnelsen att många drabbades av kraftig syndanöd och brast ut i högljudda rop och tårar, och ropade: "Vad måste vi göra för att bli frälsta?" Syndare i händerna på en arg Gud, som fortfarande är en av de mest kända predikningarna i amerikansk historia, återspeglar både Edwards djupa teologiska insikt och hans förmåga att tala till människors samvete på ett gripande sätt. Hans verk och predikningar fortsätter att influera kristen teologi och väckelsearbete än idag.

JONATHAN EDWARDS (1703-1758) was an American revivalist preacher, philosopher, and theologian of the 18th-century. Regarded as perhaps America's greatest and most original philosophical theologians, Edwards' works are broad in scope, rooted in Puritan heritage and the Westminster Confession of Faith. His role was significant in shaping the First Great Awakening. To this day the church has widely read his sermons and books, the greatest being his The History of Redemption.The Celebration of Faith Series, conceived by Series Editor Steven R. Martins, reflects on the lives and contributions of those who have been touched by the grace of God, those who have professed, defended and advanced the Christian religious worldview throughout history. The objective of this series is to inspire and encourage grace-bought believers towards living out their faith in such a way that demonstrates the truth, beauty and liberty of the gospel and its comprehensive nature for the furtherance of God's kingdom.

We've been granted an incredibly priceless salvation that Jesus purchased for us through His work on the cross. Jonathan Edwards explains in his book that the original Greek word "Sozo" used for "saved" means complete wholeness for the spirit, mind, will and emotions. Our salvation includes not only new birth for the spirit but also physical healing, freedom from the demonic, and supernatural protection, which Christ offers us freely. Jonathan emphasises that our spiritual inheritance is to live saved, healed, delivered, and supernaturally protected, as this is God's will for our lives. If you're facing challenges such as sickness or feeling oppressed or bound, Jonathan believes that the answers can be found within the word of God. This book will guide you in discovering those truths, resulting in a total transformation in your life.

Has God the right to exercise our "free will"? Are we in charge if God rules over human free will? What exactly is morality like? What exactly is sin?

Every Christian can benefit from reading "Freedom of the Will" because it serves as a useful tool for understanding the magnitude of Christ's love in overcoming our minds and emotions and genuinely loving us. Every Christian family's library ought to contain this.
