Answer:

In order to illustrate the unimaginable suffering of whoever suffers the wrath of God.

Step-by-step explanation:

In "Sinners In The Hands of an Angry God", Jonathan Edwards appeals to the 'sinners' to acknowledge their actions and remember the punishment for any who does things against the ways of God. This punishment will be more severe and painful than anyone can ever imagine, and that is why everyone needs to repent and seek salvation away from the sinful nature of the worldly things. By highlighting the severity of the punishment reserved for those who stray away from the Christian faith, he emphasizes on the importance of living a clean and worthy life in accordance to the image of God.
