The first line of Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God is "In this verse is threatened the vengeance of God on the wicked unbelieving Israelites, who were God's visible people, and who lived under the means of grace." Why do you think he chose to lead with this line and speak of a vengeful instead of a merciful God? If you had been sitting in Edwards' congregation and heard this sermon, how would you have felt and how would you have reacted? What part of this do you feel would ve had the most impact on those living in 1741?
