to decide when you fall into temptation no matter what of the things you may hear. The
third comparison Jonathon Edwards uses is that "God holds you over the pit of hell,
much as one holds a spider or some loathsome insect over the fire." Again, God
decides when you will fail and he knows if you're worthy or not of salvation.
