Sinners in the hands of an angry god

I think that the sermon about sinners in the hands of an angry god is a very interesting.  I think that this piece gives a very good insight of the puritan beliefs and why they are the way they are.  This piece shows that the puritans think very highly of their people.  They say that they are the chosen people.  However they seem to think of this more as a chore then a privilege at some times.  For example they have to behave according to their beliefs all the time or face being destroyed.  They also seem to think that they are responsible for saving the people of the world.  With the floodgates being held back they make it seem like they need to get god to keep his hand there.  I can relate to them in the sense that my religion also believes that we are god’s chosen people.  However my religion is not as strict in its rules.  We also don’t believe that we only get one chance we offer reconciliation.
