What is salvation, and how do Wesleyans understand its depth and scope?
In this episode, Dr. Matt O’Reilly sits down with Dr. Bill Ury for an engaging discussion on the Wesleyan/Methodist order of salvation. Together, they unpack key aspects of this transformative journey, including prevenient grace, justification, sanctification, and more. You'll learn how justification relates to the new birth and why grace is not a thing.
Explore how the Wesleyan understanding of salvation emphasizes God’s grace at every stage, the question of free will, and the believer’s call to holiness. Learn how John Wesley’s insights into salvation continue to inspire Methodists and Christians around the world to pursue a life marked by faith, love, and spiritual growth.
This conversation delves into questions like: How does grace lead us to salvation? What role does sanctification play in our spiritual journey? And how can Wesleyan theology offer hope and clarity in today’s world? Perfect for Methodists, pastors, theologians, and anyone curious about Christianity or the Bible, this video will deepen your understanding of God’s saving work and its practical relevance for daily life.
Along with his wife, Diane, Dr. Bill Ury serves as National Ambassador for Holiness with the Salvation Army. He is a sought after speaker and author of multiple books. Before coming to the Salvation Army, Bill served as a pastor and was a professor of theology at Wesley Biblical Seminary for 25 years.
