Throughout "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," Edwards uses imagery in an attempt to make readers feel

Edwards uses vivid images of danger, judgment, and people being held over the pit of hell to make listeners fear the consequences of sin. The sermon warns that they could face damnation without warning, so its imagery is meant to create fear about being sent to hell, not confidence that they are already saved.
