Introduction
A Methodist is a person who has the love of God shining in his heart by the Holy Spirit. He loves the Lord his God with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his mind, and with all his strength. God is the joy of his heart and the desire of his soul. —John Wesley’s The Character of a Methodist: Set in Modern Language, David Wentz, Page 7
It’s All About Love
14 When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, 15 the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. 16 I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. 17 Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. 18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. 19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. —Ephesians 3:14–19 (NLT)
For Wesley It came down to:
Salvation is a Journey
SALVATION = grace, holiness, justification, sanctification
Transformed and Made New
This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! —2 Corinthians 5:17 (NLT)
