I consider myself a religious person. If I was in this gentleman's shoes, no matter how religious I am, I don' think I would be able to return to my masters if I was a slave. I think I am still selfish in the way that I wouldn't be able to do it. His faith must have had to be strong and I feel like I would have been one of those who would have followed him.

I find this paragraph strong. It is like he is saying, that one of the greatest sins of all is assuming one would be going to Heaven. He reminds the people to wake up and be humble because they are at the hands of the grace of God. This reminds me of going to church the the priest trying to instill fear in the parishioners through their sermon. Although both the priest at my church and this gentleman try to instill fear, I find Jonathan Edwards more intriguing.

Although it is only a couple sentences long, this opening to this final portion of the sermon is already telling the people that if you don't have a strong foundation, if you don't have a strong faith, there is nothing holding you back from the challenges or the temptations of life. He is gearing to tell them the truth that they are, in fact, not immune to going to hell.
