Conclusion
From the above analysis, it’s not hard to see why John Wesley was such a turning point for the eighteenthcentury
British society and the state. Today, when we are agonising over how to increase the piety of believers,
how to promote revival in the church and in our country, and as we try to find teachers to solve the problems of the
individual, as well as problems of our society and country, we must return to our Christian spiritual heritage,
seeking answers from John Wesley’s emphasis on “Christian Perfection.
May our God, who through John Wesley launched an unprecedented revival movement in the England, also
today, through our lives, use us to lead our churches and country into revival.
