Free Grace - From John Wesley One view of predestination from an 1873 sermon on Free Grace and the doctrine of predestination from John Wesley. Extract below: How freely does God love the world! While we were yet sinners, "Christ died for the ungodly." While we were "dead in our sin," God "spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all." And how freely with him does he "give us all things!" Verily, FREE GRACE is all in all! The grace or love of God, whence cometh our salvation, is FREE IN ALL, and FREE FOR ALL. -
It is free in all to whom it is given. -
The doctrine of predestination is not a doctrine of God. -
Predestination destroys the comfort of religion, the happiness of Christianity. -
This uncomfortable doctrine also destroys our zeal for good works. -
Furthermore, the doctrine of predestination has a direct and manifest tendency to overthrow the whole Christian Revelation. -
And at the same time, makes that Revelation contradict itself. -
Predestination is a doctrine full of blasphemy.
