Here we analyze fourteen scripture passages in relation to their function in Edwards' development of the Work of Redemption. In this research we will focus on where Edwards quotes these texts, what the context is in the sermon, and the argument supporting the Work of Redemption. In the Index of biblical passages of the Work of the Redemption we note the prominent presence of references to Isaiah, Matthew and the Apocalypse. So let's look at four texts from each of these books.2.1 Sermon One“For the moth will gnaw them like clothing, and the worm will gnaw them like wool; but my righteousness shall endure forever, and my salvation from generation to generation,” Isaiah 51:8.Commentary: Edwards quoted this text in the first sermon and in the subsequent twenty-nine sermons of the Work of Redemption which collects thirty sermons in total. In the first sermon Edwards explains the meaning of the Work of Redemption. This text is the repetitive terminus à quo of every sermon. According to Edwards it reflects the part of this text "For the moth will eat them up like clothing and the worm will eat them up like wool" the short duration of the power and prosperity of the church's opponents "... they will gradually wear out and fade away through a secret curse of God until they come to nothing...” By “my righteousness shall be forever, and my salvation throughout all generations” is meant God's faithfulness to his church and his people in granting them the benefits of covenant of grace. Edwards goes on to say that God's righteousness and his salvation are tied to the covenant of grace. Salvation is the sum of all the works of God by which the benefits of the covenant of grace are procured and conferred a continuity of this on the right... in the center of the sheet... upwards refers to Num.20 where Moses at the waters of Meribah in Kadesh provided water to the Israelites without recognizing the intervention of the Lord.WJE 9: 323.Ibid., 363.Ibid., 382-83.Ibid., 424.Ibid., 427.See Edwards' sermon on 1 Cor. 13 in Charity and Its Fruits (Carlisle: The Banner of Truth Trust, 1996).WJE 9:459.WJE 12:228; Edwards is probably referring to a conclusion in his Ecclesiastical Writings regarding the "Parable of the Ten Virgins". Edwards argues that "...the visible members of the Christian Church or the Kingdom of Heaven..." This shows similarity to Turretin's view "the church is the Kingdom of Heaven", meaning that the church is the place where the “Kingdom” is administered and exercised.
