Quote from Jonathan Edwards

Jonathan Edwards, A Narrative of the Revival of Religion in New England

"There is not so much difference before God, between children and grown persons, as we are ready to imagine; we are all poor, ignorant, foolish babes in his sight. Our adult age does not bring us so much nearer to God as we are apt to think. God in this work has shown a remarkable regard to little children; never was there such a glorious work amongst persons in their childhood, as has been of late in New England."


Edwards' is speaking of the work of God toward children in the revivals of the First Great Awakening. However, I think his works also speak to adults of all ages who believe they are closer to God than those younger, and for that manner those who believe they are closer to God than those older.
