Is it not common to say to a child, 'Put your finger in that candle, can you bear it even for one minute?' How then will you bear Hell-fire? Surely it would be torment enough to have the flesh burnt off from only one finger; what then will it be to have the whole body plunged into a lake of fire, burning with brimstone?
John WesleyGod would first, by this inspiration of his Spirit, have wrought in our hearts that holy love without which none can enter into glory.
John WesleyA meek spirit gives no trouble willingly to any: a quiet spirit bears all wrongs without being troubled.
John WesleyThis Book had to be written by one of three people: good men, bad men or God. It couldn't have been written by good men because they said it was inspired by the revelation of God. Good men don't lie and deceive. It couldn't have been written by bad men because bad men would not write something that would condemn themselves. It leaves only one conclusion. It was given by divine inspiration of God.
