Sinners in Hands of Angry God

Jonathon Edwards place an image of a God who is not forgiving once you have betrayed him or sinned and have done the opposite of what you know is good. he lets you know that hell is waiting on you and that if you do not do the right thing all the time that God can just let you go from his hands and fall into the gates of fiery hell. Edwards tell the congregation that God has no pity for sinners. God will turn his his head away from any of those people that go against him. You should always walk a good path of righteousness no matter what. God will punish you for all eternity and there will be no special treatment for anyone, everyone will get the same treatment. The wrath of God will be unjustly and fiery and he will turn away from you and you will go the bottomless pit of hell. Jonathan Edwards made God seem as though he was the devil his self. The picture of hell was imprinted on the congregations mind pertaining to disobeying God.
