Answer:

"Dam*nation doesn’t slu*mber, the Pit is prepared, the Fire is made ready, the Furnace is now hot, ready to receive them, the Flames do now r*age and glow" this statement from the sermon reflects the intentions of Edward to bring people back to churches.

Explanation:

The aim of the sermon was to reestablish theological loyalty and get people back to the church. Much of the discourse offered by Edwards describes the extent of repercussions with sinners. He highlights the joys and rewards for the people who would join the church and the punishment for the non-believers. He offered the path of salvation to lure people back to the Church if they willing to act quickly.

Answer:

Edwards uses God as a supreme supernatural being who watches over everything everyone does. He judges everyone and despises nonbelievers. The sermon is for nonbelievers. Initially, Edwards speaks about the reason behind his sermon. He then begins to speak to the nonbelievers about hell and how God can choose to send these non believers to hell eternally if he so wishes. A line which demonstrates this view is "The bow of God's wrath is bent, and the arrow made ready on the string, and justice bends the arrow at your heart, and strains the bow, and it is nothing but the mere pleasure of God, and that of an angry God, without any promise or obligation at all, that keeps the arrow one moment from being made drunk with your blood." However, toward the end of the sermon, Edward paints God as a forgiving being should his followers seek his guidance. God is thus portrayed as a forgiving soul to those deserving of mercy. Edward, therefore, ends the sermon while giving hope to the nonbelievers. In Edwards’s sermon, he first paints God as God the wrathful and in the latter part as God the merciful.
