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.
These are antonyms!!
Resistant means that something can't affect it (the resistant object), or has a hard time affecting it. For example, water resistant shoes aren't easily affected by water; water cant pass through them as easily as non-water resistant shoes.
Yielding means that something is flexible or is influenced by another thing easily. For example, when you "yield" when driving, you are letting the other cars go before you; or, when an object "yields" to pressure, it is bending under pressure (though not quite breaking).
In summary: resistant means nothing can touch it, while yielding means that things easily affect it; thus, antonyms.
The answer is character vs character.
