According to Jonathan Edwards's sermon, what is a constant threat to all human beings?

According to
"," hellfire and damnation are a
constant threat to all human beings.


The sermon
emphasizes, using vivid , the extremely insecure situation of every living

person. None of us realize how close we are to the eternal fire. It is as we are going
happily
across a bridge while not noticing that the bridge (life) itself is
rickety and full of holes
and that beneath it is a horrible, flaming inferno
that we can plunge into forever with one tiny
slip of the foot.


Only through the grace of God are we not all already
screaming in
that pit of eternal fire. We cannot keep out of it by our own acts: only God
can
protect us. Therefore, we need to make God the focus of our lives,
especially through
unremitting faith in Jesus Christ, so that we can hope to
be saved from everlasting
torment.
