About this book

The sermons John Wesley chose as the doctrinal standard of Methodism — what its preachers were bound to teach. Salvation by faith, the witness of the Spirit, the almost Christian, the use of money: the working theology of a movement, set out in the plain words Wesley insisted on.

“By grace are ye saved through faith.” 1. All the blessings which God hath bestowed upon man are of his mere grace, bounty, or favour; his free, undeserved favour; favour altogether undeserved; man having no claim to the least of his mercies.
