Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Spirit of Methodism: A Poem, Supposed to Be Sung at a Love Feast, to the Tune of Rochdale; With Notes
Verse 15.-their scheme discards disinterested behevo lence, and is built on supreme selfishness. They deny that we ought to love God for what he is in himself, and they make our obligations to love him rest entirely on his love to us. Thus their Discipline says, page 66, There is a necessity of our being justified by faith in his blood, with out which we cannot come to know that he loved us, and washed us from our sins in his blood. There is a necessi ty of knowing his love who first loved us, without which we cannot love him. They pervert a passage of scrip ture to prove that God's love to us is the only motive from which we can love him. 1 John, iv. 19.
