Summary

Jonathan Edwards lived from 1703-1758, and was used by God in the American Great Awakening. He is often referred to as America’s greatest theologian. This sermon was preached to encourage every person to make every effort to get into the kingdom of God—that none should be left out. This audiobook is read from Edwards’ original text with only a few minor changes to make it more understandable to the listener.

Edwards opened the sermon by defining “pressing into” the kingdom, explaining why every one should earnestly seek it. He reminded the hearers that, by nature, all are in a perishing necessity of salvation, utterly lost when outside the kingdom. But then encouraged them in every possible way, addressing objections as he urged all to “violently” and with unfailing tenacity press into the kingdom. He directed them to look beyond and through all the difficulties, and warmly pointed them to the glorious possibility of actually entering and enjoying the great excellencies of the kingdom.
