What is an individual's reason for existence in Jonathan Edwards', "Sinners in the Hand of an Angry God?"

I think
that Edwards seems to reduce what it means to have a purpose for existence to total submission
to the will of God.  For Edwards, there does not need to be any other form of existence.  The
Great Awakening was rooted in the idea that human beings have strayed from their original
intent, and their basic purpose of existence has been lost.  In the sermon, one sees clearly
that the reason for one to exist is to acknowledge failure and serve God in a capacity that
reflects complete submission, absolute willingness to embrace that which is a part of their
identity, and to ensure that God's arrow is not aimed at their own souls.  For Edwards, human
consciousness is a practice of submission to the will of the divine.  Acknowledging the anger of
God and doing whatever can be done to placate this condition becomes a major part of what
Edwards wishes to do in his essay.  At the same time, it becomes clear that Edwards sees the
individual as needing to assume such a position in being because of both their own sins and the
sins of others, ensuring that for Edwards the only reason for one's existence is to submerge
their own identity towards the will of the divine.
