« From the Preface to the Standard Sermons | Main | Saturday March 4, 2006 »
The following quote again comes from the preface to the Standard Sermons. Wesley here recognizes that one cannot separate faith from works, the inside from the outside, our emotions or passions from the activities of our bodies. He writes his sermons in order for the formation of our whole lives in Christ as we move from God to God.
Herein it is more especially my desire, first, to guard those who are just setting their faces toward heaven (and who, having little acquaintance with the things of God, are the more liable to be turned out of the way), from formality, from mere outside religion, which has almost driven heart-religion out of the world; and, secondly, to warn those who know the religion of the heart, the faith that worketh by love, lest at any time they make void the law through faith, and so fall back into the snare of the devil.
