More quotes by John Wesley

Image
But as sickness and diseases have created the necessity of medicines and physicians, so the disorders of our rational nature have introduced the necessity of education and tutors.
John Wesley
Image
Proceed with much prayer, and your way will be made plain.
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
Though we cannot think alike, may we not love alike? May we not be of one heart, though we are not of one opinion? Without all doubt, we may. Herein all the children of God may unite, notwithstanding these smaller differences.
John Wesley
Image
The wearing of costly array is directly opposite to being adorned with good works. Nothing can be more evident than this for the more you lay out on your own apparel, the less you have left to clothe the naked, to feed the hungry, to lodge the stranger, to relieve those that are sick and in prison.
John Wesley
Image
Do all the good you can, by all the means you can.
John Wesley
Image
In all cases, the Church is to be judged by the Scripture, not the Scripture by the Church.
John Wesley
Image
Wine, one of the noblest cordials in nature.
John Wesley
Image
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
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
The longer I live, the larger allowances I make for human infirmities. I exact more from myself and less from others.
John Wesley
Image
Bear up the hands that hang down, by faith and prayer support the tottering knees. Have you any days of fasting and prayer? Storm the throne of grace and persevere therein, and mercy will come down.
John Wesley
Image
Reading Christians are growing Christians. When Christians cease to read, they cease to grow.
John Wesley
Image
Let it be observed, that slovenliness is no part of religion that neither this, nor any text of Scripture, condemns neatness of apparel. Certainly this is a duty, not a sin. Cleanliness is indeed next to godliness.
John Wesley
Image
Do no harm. Do good. Stay in love with God.
John Wesley
Image
The best helps to growth in grace are the ill usage, the affronts, and the losses which befall us. We should receive them with all thankfulness, as preferable to all others, were it only on this account, that our will has no part therein.
John Wesley
Image
The neglect of prayer is a grand hindrance to holiness.
John Wesley
Image
Vice does not lose its character by becoming fashionable.
John Wesley
Image
Riches naturally beget pride, love of the world, and every temper that is destructive of Christianity.
John Wesley
Image
I look on all the world as my parish thus far I mean, that, in whatever part of it I am, I judge it meet, right, and my bounden duty, to declare unto all that are willing to hear, the glad tidings of salvation.
John Wesley
