The final part of John Wesley's rule of life is summed up as: "Stay in love with God (Jesus)."
There is a simplicity in Wesley's rule that should make our faith easier to practice, but anyone who has been a believer for years will tell you that it has difficult moments. Kindling our relationship with Jesus is such an important part of being a Christ-follower - we surely can't be effective disciples if we aren't willing to nurture this love.
I would argue that the first two actions of the Rule of Life (Do no harm and do good), should hopefully flow from our relationship with God.
Jude 1:21- "...keep yourselves in God’s love as you
wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life."
Reflection: What do you do in order to stay in love with Christ? What have you found helpful in this regard?
