In this excerpt, Edwards is attempting to convince readers that they
And now you have an extraordinary opportunity, a day wherein Christ has thrown the door of mercy wide open, and stands in the door calling and crying with a loud voice to poor sinners; a day wherein many are flocking to him, and pressing into the kingdom of God. Many are daily coming from the east, west, north and south; many that were very lately in the same miserable condition that you are in, are now in a happy state, with their hearts filled with love to him that has loved them and washed them from their sins in his own blood, and rejoicing in hope of the glory of God. How awful is it to be left behind at such a day! To see so many others feasting, while you are pining and perishing! To see so many rejoicing and singing for joy of heart, while you have cause to mourn for sorrow of heart, and howl for vexation of spirit! How can you rest one moment in such a condition?
Answers
In this excerpt, Edward is attempting to convince readers that everyone should be saved by the blood of Jesus Christ. Christ has come to bear the punishment of your sins. The sins of people can be washed away through Christ and you are clean.
The author says that there will be a day when God is going to come to us and take all the good ones into his glory. All the people who were washed clean through Christ will be taken along with him into his glory. The people who were in pain on the Earth will rejoice in him.
But the people who won’t be washed clean will be left behind with everlasting mourning and pain.
So you shouldn’t be left back when God comes to call you into his glory. Everyone should be washed clean in the blood of Christ. You should not stay back when God calls you.
