4. Which sentence below best summarizes the passage? Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God by Johnathan Edwards
So that, thus it is that natural men are held in the hand of God, over the pit of hell; they have
deserved the fiery pit, and are already sentenced to it; and God is dreadfully provoked, his anger
is as great towards them as to those that are actually suffering the executions of the fierceness of
his wrath in hell, and they have done nothing in the least to appease or abate that anger, neither
is God in the least bound by any promise to hold them up one moment; the devil is waiting for
them, hell is gaping for them, the flames gather and flash about them, and would fain lay hold on
them, and swallow them up; the fire pent up in their own hearts is struggling to break out and
they have no interest in any Mediator, there are no means within reach that can be any security
to them. *
