The Way of Salvation - Audio

We begin to examine the Via Salutis - the Way of Salvation - in Wesleyanism and see immediately how John Wesley described this as "The Scripture Way of Salvation." Throughout his nuanced and highly developed understanding of salvation, grace is the thread that weaves the entire tapestry together. Wesley saw grace as both the unmerited love of God and as the power of the Holy Spirit that enables one to walk in the ways of God, thus holding together conjunctively both the so-called "Protestant" emphasis and the "Catholic" emphasis. To Wesley, salvation was a matter of grace as logically prior to all else.
