| Summary |
"The Works of the Rev. John Wesley, Vol. 04 (of 32)" by John Wesley is a collection of sermons and writings penned during the 18th century. This volume focuses on various themes related to Christian doctrine, moral guidance, and practical living for believers. Wesley's insights are shaped by his experiences and theological reflections, offering a vast reservoir of wisdom for those seeking spiritual depth. The opening of this volume introduces Wesley’s sermon on self-denial, emphasizing its universal necessity for all Christians. He argues that self-denial is essential for following Christ and adhering to the will of God, citing biblical references that highlight its importance in the Christian life. He explores the common misconceptions surrounding self-denial, asserting that it is not merely an act of renunciation but a vital commitment to embrace God's will over one's own desires. The initial discussion establishes a foundation for understanding Christian discipline and the moral imperatives that Wesley believes every follower of Christ should uphold.
