Reading The Bible

John Wesley’s sermons are saturated with Scripture.  His summary sermon on salvation is titled “The Scripture Way of Salvation.”  Wesley was “a man of one book”, meaning that for doctrine, devotion, and especially preaching, the Bible played an indispensable role.  The Bible offers a faithful revelation of God in Christ.  For John Wesley, the scriptural way was the only way to experience the saving faith we can have in Christ.  This meant a number of things, including his understanding of justification by faith, assurance, and sanctification, but what it reveals primarily is that the Bible was the book by which he measured his life.
