Question 24 • American Literature and Composition

In paragraph six of "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," what does Edwards suggest about spiritual reform?

Answer
A
He suggests that individuals have no opportunity to be saved from damnation.
B
He suggests that church and state should be separated.
C
He suggests that not all people who sin suffer eternal damnation.
D
He suggests that good works alone will not save a person 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.
