More quotes by John Wesley
Always remember the essence of Christian holiness is simplicity and purity: one design, one desire: entire devotion to God.
John Wesley
The best of all is God with us
John Wesley
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
The neglect of prayer is a grand hindrance to holiness.
John Wesley
Do all the good you can, by all the means you can.
John Wesley
Money never stays with me. It would burn me if it did. I throw it out of my hands as soon as possible, lest it should find its way into my heart.
John Wesley
Untold millions are still untold.
John Wesley
You have nothing to do but to save souls therefore spend and be spent in this work.
John Wesley
My ground is the Bible. Yea, I am a Bible-bigot. I follow it in all things, both great and small.
John Wesley
God would first, by this inspiration of his Spirit, have wrought in our hearts that holy love without which none can enter into glory.
John Wesley
For as long as love takes up the whole heart, what room is there for sin therein?
John Wesley
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
Riches naturally beget pride, love of the world, and every temper that is destructive of Christianity.
John Wesley
Passion and prejudice govern the world only under the name of reason.
John Wesley
They say I killed six or seven men for snoring. Well, it ain't true. I only killed one man for snoring.
John Wesley
Oh Lord, let me not live to be useless.
John Wesley
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
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
Wine, one of the noblest cordials in nature.
John Wesley
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
