Sinners at the Hands of an Angry God

Selection of the passage:

We find it easy to tread on and crush a worm that we see crawling on the earth; so it is easy for us to cut or singe a slender thread that any thing hangs by: thus easy is it for God, when he pleases, to cast his enemies down to hell.

Response:

When reading this selection I immediately had realized that the Puritans were very fervent in their faith. Including this ti has come to my attention that he focused all of his audience attention to the bad things said God would do to them. This poem conveyed a message to me that the Puritans where so scared to go to hell they would do anything they could not to go there.The actions of the Puritans seemed to very strictly controlled by their church than our modern day churches. to me it seemed they believed that man had no power and God could kill them all when ever he pleased. I concluded that they thought more about of gods opinion than to live there lives without fear.

Diary Entry:
Today we all went to another long and fearful sermon. He spoke to us about how we should live our lives. He told us the consequence that awaited us if we did not act properly. He should what our god was capable and what hell he could bring on earth. This sermon has showed me the way of god and how to live my life with the fear of judgment day getting closer.
