John Wesley World Quotations

The church changes the world not by making converts but by making disciples.

Anything that cools my love for Christ is the world.

May we not say, that true zeal is not mostly charitable, but wholly so? That is, if we take charity in St. Paul's sense, for love; the love of God and our neighbour. For it is a certain truth, (although little understood in the world), that Christian zeal is all love. It is nothing else.

Passion and prejudice govern the world; only under the name of reason.

I want the whole Christ for my Savior, the whole Bible for my book, the whole Church for my fellowship, and the whole world for my mission field.

I look upon all the world as my parish.

Riches naturally beget pride, love of the world, and every temper that is destructive of Christianity.

Justifying faith implies, not only a divine evidence or conviction that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, but a sure trust and confidence that Christ died for my sins, that He loved me and gave Himself for me.

He who governed the world before I was born shall take care of it likewise when I am dead. My part is to improve the present moment.

I look on all the world as my parish; thus far I mean, that, in whatever part of it I am, I judge it meet, right, and my bounden duty, to declare unto all that are willing to hear, the glad tidings of salvation.
