The “sense” of the definition of sin that Wesley is contending for, is that sin is a “voluntary transgression of a known law”. And this relates to a person’s perceiving themselves to have kept, and that they are keeping, this known law perfectly; that is, without sinning against God or man.

Great Sermon! Thank you for the post. For more on John Wesley. I would like to invite you to the website for the book series, The Asbury Triptych Series. The trilogy based on the life of Francis Asbury opens with the book, Black Country. The opening novel in this three-book series details the amazing movement of John Wesley and George Whitefield in England and Ireland. The book richly brings to life the life-changing effects on a Great Britain steeped in addiction to gin and illiteracy.

The website for the book series is www.francisasburytriptych.com. Again, thank you, for the post.
