Essential Beliefs – Series on United Methodist Beliefs

John Wesley, along with many other Christian leaders, is quoted as saying, “In essentials unity; in non-essentials liberty; in all things charity.” While there is great wisdom in this quote, it does compel us to ask the question, “Which of our Christian beliefs are essential?” There are essential beliefs for the Church universal, and there are essential beliefs for United Methodists. The bible itself reveals what is important and essential to our faith. These essentials include the inspiration of Scripture, the incarnation and deity of Christ, salvation by God’s grace through Jesus Christ alone, justification by faith, sacramentalism, the physical resurrection of Christ and His return, the Holy Trinity. These are the “essentials” we should understand and believe as followers of Jesus Christ. In this new series we will unpack these essential beliefs and discover how we can live into them in a practical way as United Methodist.
