"When a
person sees the excellence of the gospel, he senses the beauty and loveliness
of the divine scheme of salvation. His mind is convinced that it is of God, and
he believes it with all his heart...The light of the gospel is the glory of
Christ, his holiness and beauty...Clearly, it is this divine light, shining
into our hearts, that enables us to see the beauty of the gospel and have a
saving belief in Christ. This supernatural light shows us the superlative
beauty and loveliness of Jesus, and convinces us of his sufficiency as our
Savior. Only such a glorious, majestic Savior can be our Mediator, standing
between guilty, hell-deserving sinners such as ourselves, and an infinitely
holy God. This supernatural light gives us a sense of Christ that convinces us
in a way nothing else ever could." –
Jonathan Edwards in "True Grace Distinguished from the Experience of the
Devils"
