Detailed explanation-1: -Jonathan Edwards argues to the sinning members of the congregation who have not yet accepted Christ that God’s penalties for their iniquities and lack of faith are ineludible to any mortal, and that no attempt to overthrow Him exists that is capable enough.
Detailed explanation-2: -Jonathan Edwards’s Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, preached on July 8, 1741 in Enfield, Connecticut, is an appeal to ‘sinners’ to recognize that they will be judged by God and that this judgment will be more fearful and painful than they can comprehend.
Detailed explanation-3: -Edwards goes to talk about God’s wrath. “It is the wrath of the infinite God.” So God is infinite. “It is the fierceness of His wrath that you are exposed to.” So not only is He infinite, but so is His wrath. You do not find love in this sermon, but that God mostly hates you.
Detailed explanation-4: -Which statement best describes Edwards’s views in “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God"? People who were “born again” in Christ would be spared.
