Are we still sinners in the hands of an angry God?
"There is no lack of power in God to cast wicked men into hell at any moment. Men's hands cannot be strong when God rises up. The strongest have no power to resist Him, nor can any man escape from His hands. He is not only able to cast wicked men into hell, but He can most easily do it."
Jonathan Edwards, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God
Christ has thrown the door of mercy wide open, and He stands crying out to all to accept His call.
In the most famous sermon ever given, Jonathan Edwards presents a clear picture of the predicament of every sinner and lukewarm Christian. Through his words, you can discover much about what it means to follow God.
Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God shows how you can…
- Know you have God's favor
- Avoid the tricks of the Devil
- Understand more about what sin really is
- Avoid the destruction that awaits sinners
- Realize the need for immediate action
- Be an intercessor
- Find your reward in heaven
With compelling words and imagery, Edwards describes the shaky position of those who do not follow Christ and God's urgent call to receive His love and forgiveness today.
"Sometimes an earthly ruler finds it very difficult to subdue a rebel who has found means to fortify himself and has made himself strong by having great numbers of followers. However, it is not so with God. There is no fortress that is any defense from the power of God. Though hand join in hand, and vast multitudes of God's enemies combine and associate themselves, they are easily broken into pieces. They are as great heaps of chaff before the whirlwind (see Isaiah 17:13), or large quantities of dry stubble before devouring flames (See Nahum 1:10).
