5.0 out of 5 stars The True Man of God, May 20, 2001

By	Michael Desario "MD" (Stow, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The life of John Wesley is nothing short of amazing. He carried the message of Christ far and wide during his lifetime and preached to thousands. I have read this and his Forty-Four Sermons, published in 1977 by Methodist Publishing House. Currently out of print. At a time in the modern church where obedience to the Gospel of Christ is optional and Grace cheap, study the works of Wesley and see what happens when a man is `really' converted to the truth. Examine the evidence of a heart ignited by the Fire of the Holy Spirit and a lifetime of discipleship to the cross. If your own heart is not moved by his great man of God, then perhaps you need to be reminded that true Faith produces obedience and life of service to Christ. Wesley called the churches to repentance and proved to them that Grace was NOT license, but the Power to transform. True followers of Christ walk in the Newness of Life, overcoming the world by Faith, and daily presenting themselves a `living' sacrifice to God, holy and acceptable, which is their reasonable service. Wesley, like many preachers of his time, taught that to Make a `continual' practice out of sin after coming to a knowledge of the truth, was a mockery of God and an Insult to the Spirit of Grace. "He that doeth righteousness is righteous." Was one of his most beloved passages. Which he used to prove his point time and again as he traveled the countryside proclaiming the Gospel. He shatters the modern doctrine of, `Jesus obeyed for me' or better stated that somehow `imputed righteousness', means the believer is excused from obedience. Like all true men of God, Wesley took the scriptures at face value and `did not' try to read in an excuse for sin. The New Birth hit him like a lightening blot from above and he took that message to the world. The RESULTS speak for themselves. Read about his life and be inspired to obey the Lord.
