Jonathan Edwards 
Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God 

“There is nothing that keeps wicked men at any one moment out of hell, but the mere pleasure of God.”
By the mere pleasure of God, I mean his sovereign pleasure, his arbitrary will, restrained by no obligation, hindered by no manner of difficulty, any more than if nothing else but God’s mere will had in the least degree or in any respect whatsoever, any hand in the preservation of wicked men one moment.
