Book Description
A Plain Account of Christian Perfection by John Wesley is about the theory of perfection according to Christian theology. Excerpt: "1. WHAT I purpose in the following pages is, to give a plain and distinct account of the steps by which I was led, during the course of many years, to embrace the doctrine of Christian Perfection. This I owe to the serious part of mankind; those who desire to know all the truth as it is in Jesus. And these only are concerned with questions of this kind. To these I would nakedly declare the thing as it is, endeavoring all along to show, from one period to another, both what I thought, and why I thought so."

Not every one that doeth, but every one that believeth, now reeeiveth righteousness in the full sense of the word, that is, he is justified, sanctified, and glorified. Q. 2. Are we then " dead to the law?" A. We "are dead to the law by the body of Christ" given for us; Rom. vii, 4, to the Adamic as well as the Mosaic law. We are wholly freed therefrom by his death" that law expiring with him. Q. 3. How then are we "not without law to God, but under the law to Christ?" 1 Cor. ix, 21. A. We are without that law. But it does not follow that we are without any law. For God has established another law in its place, even the law of faith. And we are all under this law to God and to Christ. Both our Creator and our Redeemer require us to observe it. Q. 4. Is love the fulfilling of this law? A. Unquestionably it is. The whole law under which we now are is fulfilled by love, Rom. xiii, 9, 10. Faith working or animated by love is all that God now requires of man. He has substituted (not sincerity but) love in the room of angelic perfection. Q. 5. How is "love the end of the commandment?" I Tim. i, 5. A. It is the end of every commandment of God. It is the point aimed at by the whole and every part of the Christian institution. The foundation is faith, purifying the heart; the end love, preserving a good conscience. Q. 6. What love is this 1 . A. The loving the Lord our God with all our heart, mind, sotd, and strength; and the loving our neighbour, every man as ourselves, as our own souls. Q. 7. What are the fruits or properties of this love 1 A. St. Paul informs us at large, Love is long suffering. It suffers all the weaknesses of the children of God, all the...
