Logos by Jonathan Edwards is when the speaker or writer appeals to the audience's logic by constructing a well-reasoned argument. ("Usage"13). One way Jonathan Edwards uses logos is by telling his congregation the cause and effects of their actions in this life. "It is an eternal wrath. It would be terrible to bear this ferocity and the wrath of almighty God for a moment; but you must suffer it for all eternity." (Edwards 43). By committing sin in their mortal lives without being converted, unsaved people will spend their eternal lives holed up in the fiery pits of Hell. Another way Edwards uses logos is to get his congregation to use common sense. "Many who were lately in the same condition as you are, are now in a happy state, with hearts full of love for those who loved them and washed them from their sins in their own blood, and rejoicing in the hope of the glory of God. How terrible it is to be left behind on such a day! To see so many others feasting, while you pine and die! To see so many rejoice and sing for the joy of the heart, while you have cause to cry for the pain of the heart and scream from the vexation of the spirit.” (Edwards 44) By using logos Edwards pushes the congregation to question themselves If they can have such great happiness by trusting in God, why shouldn't they?
