Question

in paragraph six of sinners in the hands of an angry god, what does edwards suggest about spiritual reform? he suggests that church and state should be separated. he suggests that not all people who sin suffer eternal damnation. he suggests that good works alone will not save a person from damnation. he suggests that individuals have no opportunity to be saved from damnation.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," Jonathan Edwards emphasizes that salvation is not based on good works alone. He was a Puritan preacher who believed in the sovereignty of God's grace. Good works, in his view, were not sufficient to earn salvation. The idea of separating church and state was not a focus of this sermon. Also, Edwards did believe in the possibility of salvation through God's grace (so the option about no opportunity for salvation is wrong), and he held a strict view on sin and damnation (so the option about not all sinners suffering eternal damnation is incorrect as well).

Answer:

He suggests that good works alone will not save a person from damnation.
