Question

What does Edwards mean when he says that sinners “hang by a slender thread”?

Sinners must climb that thread if they hope to reach heaven.

There is little that protects sinners from God’s fury.

Prayer is the thread that connects the devout to God.

God’s fury is like a sharp, pointed needle.

Answer 1

There is little that protects sinners from God's fury is the answer


i hope this helps and have a great day !!! :))

Answer 2

I would say that it's the second option. There is little that protects sinners from God's fury I infer this because one of Edward's sermons mention something of being in the hands of an "Angry God".
