Edwards describes how emotion and intellect both play a role, but \"converting grace\" is what causes Christians to \"awaken\" to see that forgiveness is available to all who have faith that Jesus' sacrifice atones for all sins. This salvation is not possible through believers' imperfect good works which are simply evidence of faith, only through Christ's sacrifice which is free to all. Edwards describes the importance of testing new faith and discerning whether it is legitimate. He lays out twelve tests of true conversion, including ways of measuring allegedly fruitful works.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Edwards\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1951497635\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781951497637\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Published by Parables\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/16\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.87d","brand":"Jonathan Edwards","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48175485255935,"sku":"9781951497637","price":14.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bec536f2-8620-46b4-b57e-e17ef13cd94c.jpg?v=1771334033","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-treatise-concerning-religious-affections-jonathan-edwards-9781951497637","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
