Question 25 • English III
In paragraph six of "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," what does Edwards suggest about spiritual reform?
Answer
A
He suggests that church and state should be separated.
B
He suggests that good works alone will not save a person from damnation.
C
He suggests that not all people who sin suffer eternal damnation.
D
He suggests that individuals have no opportunity to be saved from damnation.
Explanation
Edwards argues that people cannot rely on their own goodness or good deeds to escape damnation. Salvation depends on God’s grace, rather than on a person’s efforts or moral record. So the best choice is that good works alone will not save a person from damnation.
