Jonathan Edwards – on the Preciousness of Time

Posted by & filed under Bottom Quotes.

Time is precious because:
1)  A happy or miserable eternity depends on the good or ill improvement of it;
2)  It is very short.  The scarcity of any commodity occasions men to set a higher value upon it. Time is so short, and the work which we have to do in it is so great, that we have none of it to spare. The work which we have to do to prepare for eternity, must be done in time, or it never can be done.
3)  We are uncertain of its continuance;
4)  When it is past, it can’t be recovered.

Jonathan Edwards
