John Wesley

John Wesley was an 18th-century Anglican cleric and theologian who founded the Methodist movement. He emphasized personal faith, holiness, and the importance of a transformative relationship with God. In terms of predestination and providence, Wesley rejected the idea that only a select few are saved, advocating instead for the belief that God's grace is available to all. He believed in free will, arguing that individuals play a key role in accepting or rejecting God's grace. Wesley's focus on personal experience and community in faith has shaped modern Christianity, promoting a balance between divine sovereignty and human responsibility.
