Ead the excerpt from "sinners in the hands of an angry god." and now you have an extraordinary opportunity, a day wherein christ has thrown the door of mercy wide open, and stands in the door calling and crying with a loud voice to poor sinners; a day wherein many are flocking to him, and pressing into the kingdom of god. many are daily coming from the east, west, north and south; many that were very lately in the same miserable condition that you are in, are now in a happy state, with their hearts filled with love to him that has loved them and washed them from their sins in his own blood, and rejoicing in hope of the glory of god. how awful is it to be left behind at such a day! to see so many others feasting, while you are pining and perishing! to see so many rejoicing and singing for joy of heart, while you have cause to mourn for sorrow of heart, and howl for vexation of spirit! how can you rest one moment in such a condition? in this excerpt, edwards is attempting to convince readers that they can relax once they decide to follow him. could miss an invaluable opportunity. will never understand contentment. will always feel pain and sadness.

I believe it's "could miss an invaluable opportunity", I'm not good at explaining but I'll try...he's saying that by not following God the way he intended, changing yourself for the better (like if you do drugs or if you have murdered someone, just done something bad and keep doing it and you don't repent), and just not throwing yourself on his mercy and not asking him to help you, that you are missing the chance to live forever and to be his friend. Of course, you shouldn't follow him just because you don't want to die, but if you truly are sorry for any sins you have committed, he will forgive you and he will help you.. (sorry if I didn't make sense)

In this excerpt, Edwards is attempting to convince readers that they could miss an invaluable opportunity.

Further Explanations

The excerpt begins with the statement "And now you have an extraordinary opportunity". He is introducing his readers to the idea that they have a choice. There is something that they can do; they have the power to take advantage of. The phrase "extraordinary opportunity" makes this seem as though it is not around forever and that it is a great deal: almost too good to pass up. He then goes on to invite action when he says "How awful is it to be left behind!" and "How can you rest one moment in such a condition?". Edwards is asking for the readers to take advantage of this chance at salvation.

Wrong Answers

Readers "can relax once they decide to follow him" is completely wrong. There is nothing in the passage that states that people will be able to relax once converted. He says that they will be "in a happy state" and there will be much "rejoicing and singing for joy of heart". This is not the same as relaxing.

He also is not telling that they "will never understand contentment.." He is trying to show that they can obtain happiness by repenting their sins and choosing Christ. While he does mention that they will be "in the same miserable condition", he is not trying to convince them that they can never achieve contentment. In fact, he says they can, if only they convert.

This is the same reasoning for the last choice of feeling pain and sadness. He is not trying to convince them that they will always feel this, but instead convince them of a way to obtain the opposite through this opportunity.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
