Most simply defined, “works of mercy” are “doing good.”  John Wesley preached that Christians must do both works of piety and works of mercy in order to move on toward Christian perfection.  Wesley taught that people must be Christians in both works and deed, which were to express the love of God.  He believed that Christians must grow in God’s grace, which first prepares us for belief, then accepts us when we respond to God in faith, and sustains us as we do good works and participate in God’s mission.  Today we will look at how “works of mercy” may look in our lives.
