Hope God Peace Joy Fear Will Pure Seen Changed Despair Spirit Horror Over Sinful Till Doing As Far As Them Far Persons Then Moment Many Reigning Desire Desires
I cannot think that when God sent us into the world, he had irreversibly decreed that we should be perpetually miserable in it. If our taking up the Cross imply our bidding adieu to all joy and satisfaction, how is it reconcilable with what Solomon expressly affirms of religion, that 'her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace?' John Wesley
God Religion Peace Joy World Miserable Think Our Ways Solomon Cross Had He Taking Imply Bidding How Perpetually Up Paths Cannot Sent Us Should Satisfaction Expressly Her

I asked long ago,'What must I do to be saved?' The Scripture answered, 'Keep the commandments, believe, hope, love.' I was early warned against laying, as the Papists do, too much stress on outward works, or on a faith without works, which as it does not include, so it will never lead to true hope or charity. John Wesley
