In at least one hundred words, describe the intended psychological effect Edwards hoped his sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" would have.

In Sinners in the Hands of An Angry God, Edwards utilizes figurative language to shock and frighten his audiences and listeners. During this time period, God is described as being forgiving and open minded as you repent, but Edwards provides a new turn on it that includes that as a person is born, they are sentenced to heaven or to hell. This shocked listeners, and struck fear into them as they were told that they were born to heaven or to hell. The over all psychological effect of Edwards was shocking as this created a fear that God had forsaken them.
