More quotes by John Wesley
It is the Spirit that sheds the love of God abroad in their hearts, and the love of all mankind thereby purifying their hearts from the love of the world, from the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the pride of life. It is by Him they are delivered from anger and pride, from all vile and inordinate affections.
John Wesley
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
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
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
Wine, one of the noblest cordials in nature.
John Wesley
The Church recruited people who had been starched and ironed before they were washed.
John Wesley
Riches naturally beget pride, love of the world, and every temper that is destructive of Christianity.
John Wesley
A constant attention to the work which God entrusts us with is a mark of solid piety.
John Wesley
Humility and patience are the surest proofs of the increase of love.
John Wesley
For as long as love takes up the whole heart, what room is there for sin therein?
John Wesley
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
It is the work of God alone to justify, to sanctify, and to glorify.
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
To slay the sinner is then the first use of the Law, to destroy the life and strength wherein he trusts and convince him that he is dead while he lives not only under the sentence of death, but actually dead to God, void of all spiritual life, dead in trespasses and sins.
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
The longer I live, the larger allowances I make for human infirmities. I exact more from myself and less from others.
John Wesley
Do no harm. Do good. Stay in love with God.
John Wesley
The first priority of my life is to be holy, and the second goal of my life is to be a scholar.
John Wesley
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
Beware, lastly, of imagining you shall obtain the end without using the means conducive to it.
John Wesley
