Jonathan Edwards, “The Scripture is the Word of God:”
…if you let the Word of God alone, and never use [it],…you can’t expect the benefits of it…you must not only hear and read, etc., but you must have it sunk down in your heart. Believe. Be affected. Love the Word of God. Written in your heart. [You] must not only read and hear, but DO the things. Otherwise [it is] no good; but [you] will be the worse for it.
