영문 초록

John Wesley. the founder of Method ism. believed th at faith working through love(Galatians 5:6) is th e essence of true religion and a true Christian. Th e author thus studies further each component of John Wes ley's faith working through love based on John Wesley's 53 Standard Sermons . The standard Sermons, along with his Explanatory Notes upon (he New Testament, were set forward by John Wesley for doctrinal standards of Method ist s In 1763. In chapter 2. the author deals with grace and faith as the gift of God . Grace makes good works unnecessary. Faith is nor something a Christian earns through meritorious work; it is the free gift of God(Eph. 2:8-9). In chapter 3. th e author handles good works as outward signs of inward faith and love. Although faith is glorious and honor able. it is st ill only th e handmaid of love. Only love is the sum of perfection in heaven . Good work s are an immediate and necessary fruit of faith. Wesley urges Christians to be zealous of work s of mercy. as well as works of piet y. In chapter 4, th e author discusses Christi an perfect ion as holy love/loving-holiness. Full sanctification and complete salvation are God' s gradual or instantaneous great work in th e soul. Christ ian perfection is holiness and love combined. Faith work ing through love produces obedience and holiness. It is all inward and ourward holiness. It leads us into a new creation, all things in us becoming new. The au thor concludes this article by emphasizing that John Wesley's holistic concept of holy love/loving-holiness can be an antidote for Korean Christianity which is sharply divided by a holiness-orient ed g roup(works of piety , evangelism) and a love-oriented group(works of mercy, social responsibility). According to John Wesley, a true Christian can be truly evangelical and truly social concurrently.
