"Whatever effort people make to be religious or to pray, until they believe in Christ, God is under no obligation to keep them for a moment from eternal destruction."

Upon reading his sermon, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) would observe people weeping, crying, falling down in repentance, and crying out to God for forgiveness. Pastor of First Church of Northampton, Massachusetts, Edwards was a leader in the First Great Awakening with George Whitefield. Being dismissed from his pulpit, Edwards became a missionary and later president of the College of New Jersey (Princeton University).
