Answer:

God’s mercy

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Jonathan Edwards in his sermon “ Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” the only thing that keeps sinners out of hell is God’s mercy. All sinners (that is, all people) richly deserve to go to hell, he says. The only reason they do not all go to hell is because God has elected not to give them what they deserve.

Answer:

God's Hands/God's Mercy

Step-by-step explanation:

The main message of Edwards's Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God is that the only hope for salvation is through Christian rebirth. Only then, according to Edwards, will they receive God's mercy and escape a cruel fate in the fiery "pit of hell".
