To fully appreciate the role of the sacraments in the path of the Scriptures' way of salvation according to John Wesley's sermons, we must come to some important understandings. We must examine and work to understand Wesley's way of salvation. We must also work to understand Wesley's views on the sacraments of baptism and communion.
