This from a essay about Jonathan Edwards by J White. (my Bold)

Man's nature as fallen is the counterpart to the sovereignty of God as the central conviction of his thought. It has been said that those who feel no conviction of sin either know little of God, or little of themselves, or both. When one has the view of the holiness of God reflected in Edwards' memoirs above, and which shall permeate his writings to follow, one must also see sin in a dread fashion, even when that sin is part of one's own life. While from the "world's" view his life would be exemplary, yet Edwards knew in his heart his own pride, rebellion, and slothfulness. From the contrast of the great holiness of God and his own sin comes his rapture with the Gospel of grace. Indeed, it can be seen that without the elements of the true nature of God and a true apprehension of the fallenness of man, the grace of God seen in the Gospel would never be truly appreciated.
