  • Justifying faith implies, not only a divine evidence or conviction that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, but a sure trust and confidence that Christ died for my sins, that He loved me and gave Himself for me.

    John Wesley (1831). “The Works of the Reverend John Wesley, A. M.”, p.50
  • Anything that cools my love for Christ is the world.

  • Holy solitaries' is a phrase no more consistent with the Gospel than holy adulterers. The Gospel of Christ knows no religion but social; no holiness, but social holiness.

    John Wesley (1831). “The Works of the Reverend John Wesley, A. M.”, p.593
  • 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

  • I felt I did trust in Christ, Christ alone for salvation, and an assurance was given me that he had taken away my sins, even mine, and saved me from the law of sin and death.

    1738 Journal entry, 24 May.
  • If we suffer persecution and affliction in a right manner, we attain a larger measure of conformity to Christ, by a due improvement of one of these occasions, than we could have done merely by imitating his mercy, in abundance of good works.

    John Wesley, Bp. John Emory, Thomas Jackson (1831). “The Works of the Rev. John Wesley, A.M.: Miscellaneous”, p.525
  • [Christ] does not give [men] light but from moment to moment; the instant He withdraws, all is darkness.... God does not give them a stock of holiness.

  • On every occasion of uneasiness, we should retire to prayer, that we may give place to the grace and light of God and then form our resolutions, without being in any pain about what success they may have. In the greatest temptations, a single look to Christ, and the barely pronouncing his name, suffices to overcome the wicked one, so it be done with confidence and calmness of spirit.

    John Wesley (1831). “The Works of the Reverend John Wesley, A. M.”, p.526
  • I want the whole Christ for my Savior, the whole Bible for my book, the whole Church for my fellowship, and the whole world for my mission field.

  • I believe in my heart that faith in Jesus Christ can and will lead us beyond an exclusive concern for the well-being of other human beings to the broader concern for the well-being of the birds in our backyards, the fish in our rivers, and every living creature on the face of the earth.

  • I felt my heart strangely warmed. I felt I did trust in Christ, Christ alone for salvation.

    1738 Journal entry, 24 May.
  • Whosoever will reign with Christ in heaven, must have Christ reigning in him on earth

    John Wesley, Bp. John Emory, Thomas Jackson (1831). “The Works of the Rev. John Wesley, A.M.: Miscellaneous”, p.137
  • I can by no means approve the scurrility and contempt with which the Romanists have often been treated. I dare not rail at, or despise, any man: much less those who profess to believe in the same Master. But I pity them much; having the same assurance, that Jesus is the Christ, and that no Romanist can expect to be saved, according to the terms of his covenant.

    John Wesley, John Emory (1835). “The works of the late Reverend John Wesley, A.M.: from the latest London edition with the last corrections of the author, comprehending also numerous translations, notes, and an original preface, etc”, p.151
  • To abandon all, to strip one's self of all, in order to seek and follow Jesus Christ naked to Bethlehem where He was born, naked to the hall where He was scourged, and naked to Calvary where He died on the cross, is so great a mystery that neither the thing nor the knowledge of it, is given to any but through faith in the Son of God.

  • Give me 100 men that hate nothing but sin, and love Jesus Christ, and we'll shake England for God.

  • If I had 300 men who feared nothing but God, hated nothing but sin, and were determined to know nothing among men but Jesus Christ and Him crucified, I would set the world on fire.

  • Making an open stand against all the ungodliness and unrighteousness which overspreads our land as a flood is one of the noblest ways of confessing Christ in the face of His enemies.

    John Wesley (1831). “The Works of the Reverend John Wesley, A. M.”, p.461
