The case is this: God offers you one of the greatest mercies on this side of heaven and commands you to accept it. Why do you not accept this mercy in obedience to His command.... God offers you a pardon for all your sins.
John Wesley
Image
There is no love of God without patience, and no patience without lowliness and sweetness of spirit.
John Wesley
Image
Oh Lord, let me not live to be useless.
John Wesley
Image
Even in the greatest afflictions, we ought to testify to God, that, in receiving them from his hand, we feel pleasure in the midst of the pain, from being afflicted by Him who loves us, and whom we love.
John Wesley
Image
You have nothing to do but to save souls therefore spend and be spent in this work.
John Wesley
Image
Riches naturally beget pride, love of the world, and every temper that is destructive of Christianity.
John Wesley
Image
Beware you be not swallowed up in books! An ounce of love is worth a pound of knowledge.
John Wesley
Image
The giving up of (a belief in) witchcraft is in effect the giving up of (a beilief in) the Bible.
John Wesley
Image
Catch on fire and people will come for miles to see you burn.
John Wesley
Image
The longer I live, the larger allowances I make for human infirmities. I exact more from myself and less from others.
John Wesley
Image
You have nothing to do but to save souls. Therefore spend and be spent in this work. And go not only to those that need you, but to those that need you most. It is not your business to preach so many times, and to take care of this or that society but to save as many souls as you can to bring as many sinners as you possibly can to repentance.
John Wesley
Image
No circumstances can make it necessary for a man to burst in sunder all the ties of humanity.
John Wesley
Image
Any 'Christians' who take for themselves any more than the plain necessaries of life, live in an open habitual denial of the Lord. They have gained riches and hell-fire.
John Wesley
Image
Humility and patience are the surest proofs of the increase of love.
John Wesley
Image
They say I killed six or seven men for snoring. Well, it ain't true. I only killed one man for snoring.
John Wesley
Image
God's command to pray without ceasing is founded on the necessity we have of His grace to preserve the life of God in the soul, which can no more subsist one moment without it, than the body can without air.
John Wesley
Image
May we not say, that true zeal is not mostly charitable, but wholly so? That is, if we take charity in St. Paul's sense, for love the love of God and our neighbour. For it is a certain truth, (although little understood in the world), that Christian zeal is all love. It is nothing else.
John Wesley
Image
Employ whatever God has entrusted you with, in doing good, all possible good, in every possible kind and degree.
John Wesley
Image
By salvation I mean not barely according to the vulgar notion deliverance from hell or going to heaven but a present deliverance from sin a restoration of the soul to its primitive health its original purity a recovery of the divine nature the renewal of our souls after the image of God in righteousness and true holiness in justice mercy and truth.
John Wesley
Image
Sing lustily and with a good courage. Beware of singing as if you were half dead, or half asleep but lift up your voice with strength.
John Wesley
