That's why Wesley could write the wonderful picture of conversion in his song "And Can It Be that I Should Gain" and still have Calvinists saying it is an accurate picture:

Long my imprisoned spirit lay
Fast bound in sin and nature's night
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray, I woke the dungeon flamed with light
My chains fell off, my heart was free
I rose, went forth and followed Thee

Although, Wesley probably would have still said we could resist the quickening ray.


True godliness is a sincere feeling which loves God as Father as much as it fears and reverences Him as Lord, embraces His righteousness, and dreads offending Him worse than death~ Calvin
