Find the direct statment in which Edwards sets forth the purpose of his sermon.

I know it
is a bit on the simplistic side, but I think the title sets forth Edwards' purpose in a fairly
succinct and direct manner.  The idea that at this particular moment, the force of the divine is
disappointed and filled with wrath towards human beings is something conveyed in the title.  The
idea that human action has caused this state of affairs and there has to be a sense of atonement
is also conveyed in the title.  The notion that all of the Colonists are "sinners in the
hands of an angry god" help to bring to light Edwards' belief that the embrace of
materialism and economic notions of the good at the hands of spiritual pursuits is fairly well
brought out with the title of his work.  Certainly, there are images- the bow of god's anger is
bent and aimed at all humanity- that Edwards employs, but they all arise from this particular
title and point which apparently was crying to be made.
