002 Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God

The Sermons of Jonathan Edwards

NOTE

Hold Fast from the Abyss

Humanity exists in a precarious and dire condition, suspended over a figurative pit of hell by a fragile thread, representing divine wrath. This wrath is not indifferent; it is characterized by intense provocation and a deep abhorrence towards unrepentant sinners. The imagery conveys that without divine intervention, individuals remain in imminent danger of eternal condemnation, emphasizing the concept that moral offense against God warrants punishment far beyond any earthly rebellion. There is an inherent vulnerability in this existence, as every breath is sustained solely by God's hand, which prevents souls from falling into despair. The reality of this situation underscores a profound need for acknowledgment of sin and the recognition of one's helplessness without a mediator, further intensifying the urgency for repentance and spiritual salvation.
