Dear Friends, This week we'll delve into the profound teachings of John Wesley on holiness. We'll examine Wesley's transformative journey from his early commitment to holy living, through his conversion at Aldersgate, to the subsequent shift in his understanding that justification precedes holiness. Here are some of the key points Maxie Dunnam makes in this article: - Holiness is Essential for Salvation: Wesley viewed holiness as fundamental to the Christian journey toward full salvation. This includes both inward and outward holiness—loving God and loving one's neighbor. - A Fulfilled Christian Life Involves Both Joy and Righteousness: Wesley also believed that happiness and holiness are interconnected. One cannot be truly happy without being holy, and vice versa. Holiness is not optional for Christians. What would your life look like if you lived according to Jesus' words: "You shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect” (Matthew 5:48)? I invite you to read the full article and join us in rediscovering the richness of Wesley’s vision for a life of holiness and happiness.
