Throughout his sermon, jonathan edwards discusses people’s relationship with god. how does edwards change or refine the idea of god and people’s relationship with god from the beginning to the end of the excerpt? cite evidence from the text to support your response.

edwards uses god as a supreme supernatural being who watches over everything everyone does. he judges everyone and despises nonbelievers. the sermon is for nonbelievers. initially, edwards speaks about the reason behind his sermon. he then begins to speak to the nonbelievers about hell and how god can choose to send these non believers to hell eternally if he so wishes. a line which demonstrates this view is "the bow of god's wrath is bent, and the arrow made ready on the string, and justice bends the arrow at your heart, and strains the bow, and it is nothing but the mere pleasure of god, and that of an angry god, without any promise or obligation at all, that keeps the arrow one moment from being made drunk with your blood." however, toward the end of the sermon, edward paints god as a forgiving being should his followers seek his guidance. god is thus portrayed as a forgiving soul to those deserving of mercy. edward, therefore, ends the sermon while giving hope to the nonbelievers. in edwards’s sermon, he first paints god as god the wrathful and in the latter part as god the merciful.
