Throughout his sermon Jonathan Edwards discusses people’s relationships with god. How does Edwards change or refine the idea of god and people’s relationship with god from the beginning to the end of the excerpt

Edwards' sermon for the most part is based on the wrath of God and the fear that all sinners should fear at the time of their death.

Explanation:

In order to find a way for the faithful to come to church, Edward tries to scare them through his sermon. He wants to show that they are practically very sentenced if they do not repent of their sins and return to the church to try to obtain God's mercy. It is not just enough to be a good person. That would be useless if they don't go to church.

Let's look at some of the following quotes from his sermon that justify this

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.
