At a meeting in Aldersgate Street, London, on the evening of the 24th of May, 1738, one read aloud Luther’s Preface to the Epistle to the Romans. In the audience was John Wesley, in deep concern about his soul. Through what he heard, a new light flashed into his mind; a new life stirred within him; “a strange warmth” at his heart led him to say, “The Son of God loved me and gave Himself for me.” John Wesley was saved.
