Today I read quotes from John Wesley.
From his sermon The More Excellent Way it says
"From long experience & observation I'm inclined to think that whoever finds redemption in the blood of Jesus, has then the choice of walking in the higher or lower path.
I believe at that time the Holy Spirit sets before him the "More excellent way" and invites him to walk therein; to choose the narrowest path in the narrow way; to aspire after the heights and depths of holiness, after the entire image of God.
But if He does not except this offer, He declines into the lower order of Christians.
He still goes on in what may be called a good way, serving God in His degree and finds mercy at the close of life, thru the blood of the covenant." But he doesn't experience the more intimate fellowship of holiness and closeness he could have had.
