Core tenet of Methodism

Holiness is the goal of grace.

Sanctification — the heart perfected in love — pursued deliberately, examined weekly.

Understanding it — context, not catechism: how this passage is held

Christian perfection — entire sanctification — is Wesley's most distinctive and most contested teaching: that a believer may, in this life, come to love God and neighbor so completely that sin no longer reigns. He was careful about what he did not mean (not freedom from error or infirmity), and Methodists have argued about it ever since. It is the doctrinal root of the Holiness movement and, through it, of Pentecostalism.
