3. You have nothing to do but to save souls. Therefore spend and be spent in this work. And go not only to those that need you, but to those that need you most … It is not your business to preach so many times, and to take care of this or that society; but to save as many souls as you can; to bring as many sinners as you possibly can to repentance. John Wesley

43. Galatians 1:6-9 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— which is really no gospel at all.

But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
