A Plain Account of Christian Perfection by John Wesley is about the theory of perfection according to Christian theology. Excerpt: "1. WHAT I purpose in the following pages is, to give a plain and distinct account of the steps by which I was led, during the course of many years, to embrace the doctrine of Christian Perfection.

This Christian perfection implies loving God with all the heart, soul, mind, and strength?a perfect fulfilment of the terms of salvation. These terms being based upon the covenant of grace, do not imply a perfect compliance with the requisitions of the covenant of works. In relation to the latter it is truly said, All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. There is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves. The following are the views of our standard writers upon the subject. I begin with Mr. Wesley: ? On Monday, June 25, 1744, our first conference began; six clergymen and all our preachers being present. The next morning we seriously considered the doctrine of sanctification, or perfection. The questions asked concerning it, and the substance of the answers given...
