An assessment of the social intent in John Wesley's doctrine of sanctificationSmith, Wayne Peter 11 1900 (has links)
John Wesley was a well educated son of a cleric, who chose to be a theologian and a
minister in the Church of England. His theological distinctive was his insistence on the
possibility of entire sanctification in this lifetime. In response to their position on
sanctification, Wesley and the Methodists sought to save souls and cure the ills in society
because they believed it was divinely mandated. Their love and work for the less
fortunate was a response to their love for God and in obedience to His commandments.
This is the great success of their work. They were able to serve God and their generation
in a balanced yet inseparable way. The result of Wesley's life, direct and indirect, was that
the social and spiritual plight of thousands of individuals and families was improved and
dozens of church groups, missionary societies and benevolent organisations have emerged / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / Th.M. (Church History)
