"thither is the wicked
man bound, outside of Christ."
Here
is another interesting example of Graham's interpolation of the potential for
hope in Jesus Christ that Edwards leaves out entirely.
----------
They
are already under a Sentence and Condemnation of God to go to hell. They do not only justly deserve to be cast
down thither; but the sentence and the law of God, that eternal and immutable
rule of righteousness that God has fixed between him and mankind, is gone out
against them, and stands against them; so that they are bound over already to
Hell.
He
that believeth not is condemned already.
So that every unconverted Man properly – listen to this – every
unconverted man properly belongs in Hell; that is his place; from thence he
is. Jesus said, Ye are of your father
the devil. And he said in John
8.23. Ye are from beneath. And thither is the wicked man bound outside
of Christ; ‘tis the place that justice, and God’s word, and the sentence of his
unchangeable law assigns man tonight.’
