The audience was primarily puritan, typical of the 18th century. Likely, they experienced intense fear due to Edwards' sermons, which often featured terrifying and vivid depictions of suffering, hell, and sin — all meant to frighten individuals into becoming better Christians.

Jonathan Edwards presented "Sinners in The Hands of an Angry God" during the Great Awakening, a time when religion played a significant role in people's lives. His sermon may have provided devoted churchgoers with reassurance and a sense of purpose, reinforcing the importance of their worship. Conversely, non-church members or those whose lives fell short according to Edwards might have felt apprehension, guilt, or uncertainty. Those who dismissed Edwards' message could have reacted with strong resentment upon hearing the sermon.

Which “Christ-like” characteristic does Eva NOT have?
Flura [7041]
As stated in the Bible, Eve's transgression involved consuming the forbidden fruit due to the serpent's persuasion. If she had showcased selflessness, the serpent's argument claiming she would gain God-like attributes by eating the fruit would have failed. Additionally, within the context of the narrative, there were no standards for measuring wealth since Adam and Eve were the only beings on earth, dismissing the first option. Similarly, with no one else to judge her actions, it's impossible to definitively conclude whether Eve was judgmental. Her act of repentance suggests she possessed spiritual qualities. Hence, the most fitting answer is that she was self-sacrificing.
