A Plain Account of Christian Perfection (eBook)
John Wesley’s most significant and enduring theological contribution was his teaching on Christian Perfection, the idea that as we grow in faith, God’s grace lovingly changes us until we become perfect in love. Unlike human or earthly perfection, Christian Perfection is grounded in the completeness of the Christian experience. It is determined by the ongoing presence of Christ’s love in the heart of the believer.
John Wesley is recognized as the founder of Methodism. An acclaimed preacher, Wesley traveled extensively on horseback and drew large crowds for his outdoor sermons. ‘A Plain Account of Christian Perfection’ is Wesley’s definitive work on the subject, offering a complete discussion of the doctrine and the process of entire sanctification along the spiritual journey. The writings represented in The John Wesley Collection provided the early Methodists vital resources in their mission to spread the gospel. Today they continue to offer some of the most relevant and helpful messages regarding the Bible’s promise of transformation for believers in Jesus Christ.
