Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

He uses numbered lists to organize his individual claims, starting with his reminder to the congregation that all people who are not saved are "always exposed to destruction." He reminds the wicked audience that their refusal to follow God's plan has left them always vulnerable to "sudden unexpected destruction" and that it would not even take a push to start their fall into the eternal pits of hell.

Edwards uses Psalm 73.18-19 as the backbone for his initial claim.
