"If you are seeking gradual sanctification, you may know you are wrong because you are seeking it by works. If you have to wait, it is not for God, but for yourself to work. You get all blessings from God, not by work, but by faith alone. Hence you don't have to wait. For God wants to give it to you now." - John Wesley, quoted in Wesleyan Advocate, Feb 1996, page 21
