Wesley's Wisdom: Sanctification

Jesus says "be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect," and it's tempting to hear that as an order to pitch a perfect game of morality, no errors allowed. Wesley taught something different, that Christian perfection isn't an unblemished record but a heart so shaped by walking with Jesus that love becomes our first instinct instead of our last resort. So this week we're asking ourselves where we've actually grown in grace, where we're still stuck, and where love still isn't getting first place in our lives.
