(Entire Sanctification, Perfect Love)
Creating a Missional Life
You are here (Centering in Christ) if you:
- Are setting your mind in the direction of life that is perfectly, completely, and fully centered in the love of God in Christ
- Are loving others in the way we have been loved by God
- Are making disciples of Christ
- Are filled with the love of God
- Are led by the Spirit of God
- Recognize your life is part of God’s transformation of the world
- Are abounding in the fruit of the Spirit
CENTERING in Christ – Entire sanctification can be described as a life so saturated in love that all our thoughts and actions are overflow from love. According to Wesley, Christian perfection, as it is often referred, is not perfection in knowledge or freedom from temptation but more like living in cooperation with the Holy Spirit.
