"Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God", a sermon by Jonathon Edwards delivered on July 8, 1741, struck fear into the hearts of all Christians of its time. This sermon is extremely famous and was delivered to the colonies and help start the "Great Awakening". The "Great Awakening" led people to seek salvation and to follow the lessons of the Bible. This sermon made colonists fear God and brought them into real realization of Hell. Edwards was kind to many people, and that is how he felt the need to help his people through his sermon. His sermon was expressed to save everyones souls. This sermon changed many of the people of this era's ways of life, seeking help from their religion and following it to the strictest degree.
The pictures in this video try to depict the true intensity on how Edwards' sermon was engrossed by the people. It was graphic, and truly showed how the wrath of God could cast down upon the people. It probably had spoken of how God would punish those who did not live in the light of Christianity, and his word. Edwards attempted to show people the truest punishments that could be inflicted upon them if they do not follow his example and seek salvation. This sermon brought fear into everyones eyes, and allowed people a second chance to try to save themselves from God's wrath.
