Answer:

The reference to "security suggests that  <u>humans are uncertain of their fate .</u>

Explanation:

Jonathan Edwards' sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" is a strong appeal that the Christian theologian wrote and gave to the early Puritan settlers in America. This was his attempt at trying to bring back/ restore the feeling of religious feeling and obligation to God to live according to His ways.

The given passage is from his sermon where he stresses the importance of repentance and living a life of goodness and righteousness, for no one knows when he/she will die. Edwards' directly stated<em> "It is no security to wicked men for one moment, that there are no visible means of death at hand"</em> nor does a natural man have any security with the life he's living now, for death is always nearby.

Thus, the reference to "security" suggests how frail human lives are and how our fates are uncertain.
