About This Quote
What use, after all, is man, if not to teach God His lessons? This quote was given by John Wesley who founded the Methodist Church in 1738. Being a Christian is about being instructed by God so that we can fall to our knees and ask forgiveness. We have been given this life so that we can learn the lessons of life and only through learning real life lessons do we truly grow.
