More quotes by John Wesley

Image
Men of learning began to set experiments aside...to form theories...and to substitute these in the place of experiments.
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
Faith is the divine evidence whereby the spiritual man discerneth God, and the things of God.
John Wesley
Image
Get all you can without hunting your soul, your body, or your neighbor. Save all you can, cutting off every needless expense. Give all you can. Be glad to give, and ready to distribute laying up in store for yourselves a good foundation against the time to come, that you may attain eternal life.
John Wesley
Image
Is it not common to say to a child, 'Put your finger in that candle, can you bear it even for one minute?' How then will you bear Hell-fire? Surely it would be torment enough to have the flesh burnt off from only one finger what then will it be to have the whole body plunged into a lake of fire, burning with brimstone?
John Wesley
Image
Lord, is it not Thy word, if any man lack wisdom, let him ask of God? Thou givest liberally, and upbraidest not. Thou hast said, if any be willing to do Thy will, he shall know. I am willing to do, let me know Thy will.
John Wesley
Image
In all cases, the Church is to be judged by the Scripture, not the Scripture by the Church.
John Wesley
Image
My ground is the Bible. Yea, I am a Bible-bigot. I follow it in all things, both great and small.
John Wesley
Image
Every one, though born of God in an instant, yet undoubtedly grows by slow degrees.
John Wesley
Image
Prayer continues in the desire of the heart, though the understanding be employed on outward things.
John Wesley
Image
Oh Lord, let me not live to be useless.
John Wesley
Image
Let me do all the good I can, to all the people I can, as often as I can, for I shall not pass this way again.
John Wesley
Image
This earthly body is slow and heavy in all its motions, listless and soon tired with action. But our heavenly bodies shall be as fire as active and as nimble as our thoughts are.
John Wesley
Image
The man who never fasts is no more in the way to heaven than the man who never prays.
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
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
One of the principal rules of religion is, to lose no occasion of serving God. And, since he is invisible to our eyes, we are to serve him in our neighbour which he receives as if done to himself in person, standing visibly before us.
John Wesley
Image
Whatever the natural cause, sin is the true cause of all earthquakes.
John Wesley
Image
Until my work on this earth is done, I am immortal. But when my work for Christ is done ... I go to be with Jesus
John Wesley

At four in the afternoon, I submitted to be more vile and proclaimed in the highways the glad tidings of salvation.
