“True religion, in great part, consists in holy affections”
— Jonathan Edwards

Simplified Meaning:
True religion is mostly about having deep, sincere feelings of love, kindness, and devotion. It's not just about following rules or rituals. Imagine a person who goes to church every Sunday, but doesn’t help others or show compassion in their everyday life. Their actions might look religious, but without genuine care and kindness, it's not true religion. On the other hand, someone who loves others, shares their time, and spreads kindness is practicing true religion, even if they don’t follow every traditional ritual. This idea can be applied to our lives by focusing more on being good to others and less on merely going through the motions of religious practices.
