Fear Thy God!

Imagery is the use of figurative language in a way that appeals to the readers' senses. Imagery allows the reader to create vivid mental pictures of the story as they read, which ultimately brings the story to life. In the sermon, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, the preacher, Jonathan Edwards utilizes imagery to persuade his audience to come back to the mercy of God. On page 88, the text states, "There are black clouds of God's wrath now hanging directly over your heads, full of the dreadful storm, and big with thunder; and were it not for the restraining hand of God, it would immediately burst forth upon you." Edwards creates this frightening image of God's wrath, appealing to the sense of sight, with hope that sinners would see the error in their ways and repent to Good to receive His mercy.


The sermon was very insightful. I would highly recommend you to read it, but before you do, watch this short video with information about the sermon.
