“…love apart from holiness is soft, naively wishful, and likely self-indulgent. Holiness apart from love is a consuming fire. And so with respect to the first half of Wesley’s orienting concern for holiness and grace, holiness itself is best understood as implying a conjunction of holy love, an artful balance that ably describes no only hte divine nature but also the ernest Christian life itself.”
—Ken Collins, The Theology of John Wesley: Holy Love and the Shape of Grace (Nashville: Abington Press, 2007), 9.
