Here are three main sermons from John Wesley, one of the primary founders of the Methodist Church, and leader of the revival of religion in England (and elsewhere) in the 1700’s.
These sermons stand in stark contrast to the antinomian teaching that is common in many of the churches of today. They show that Wesley had a good grasp of the role of the Law in the work of salvation.
The importance of the Law in God’s final presentation of the everlasting gospel to the world is shown by such verses as these:
Revelation 14
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
The Methodist revival of the mid to late 1700’s was the last major Christian revival before the great Second Advent movement of the early to mid 1800’s. What Wesley has written here confirms a continuity of truth, and verifies that the Advent movement was in the line of the progressive unfolding of the light of God. And to those who still hold the “everlasting gospel” as the way to establish the Law in the heart, the light continues to shine, more and more unto the perfect day. 57p
