Edwards delivered his famous sermon during a revival movement intended to reinvigorate church attendance and bring more converts into the faith. He recognized that people were drifting away from church and relegating their faith to the background of their lives. The entire sermon is designed to shock listeners and instill a sense of urgency in their return to religion.
Edwards likely believed that Hell was an abstract notion to many of his listeners, and so he loaded the sermon with horrifying sense imagery to try to convince the congregation that Hell was a concrete place of eternal tortures.

Points are likely to be assertions, not questions to resolve, which is what problems are. We aren't likely to say "a point for our society today", unless we say what the society is to do with it. A person could say "[The fact that education is necessary for progress] is a point for our society to consider," although there would be better ways to express the idea.
