John Wesley, Vol. 02 (of 32)" by John Wesley is a religious work written in the early 18th century. This volume is part of a collection that encompasses sermons and theological discourses based on Christian doctrine, focusing particularly on concepts such as the new birth, righteousness, and the transformative nature of faith. Wesley’s writings are crucial for understanding the foundations of Methodism and aim to explain the path to spiritual renewal and personal holiness. The opening portion of this volume presents a transcriber’s note describing the standardization of punctuation and formatting changes for clarity and usability. It then introduces a sermon titled "The Circumcision of the Heart," emphasizing that true spiritual renewal is an inward transformation rather than mere adherence to external religious practices. Wesley outlines the characteristics that define a genuine follower of Christ, including humility, faith, and charity. He argues that being "born of God" entails a deep, personal relationship with God that leads to a holy and righteous life, manifesting through love and good works that reflect one's spiritual state. The summary makes it evident that this work is both a theological exploration and a call to practical holiness for its readers. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
