John Wesley on the Holy Spirit

posted Tuesday, 8 June 2004

The comment Trip left yesterday about the percentages of Christians who don't believe in the Holy Spirit nearly gave me a heart attack.  To simply make myself feel better, I offer this last installment of John Wesley: May Theologian of the Month (since it's already June).  This is from his Letter to a Roman Catholic:

I believe the infinite and eternal Spirit of God, equal with the Father and the Son, to be not only perfectly holy in himself, but the immediate cause of all holiness in us; enlightening our understandings, rectifying our wills and affections, renewing our natures, uniting our persons to Christ, assuring us of the adoption of sons, leading us in our actions; purifying and sanctifying our souls and bodies, to a full and eternal enjoyment of God.
