The three rules were straightforward: do no harm, do good, and attend upon all the ordinances of God. (In this context, “ordinances” mean practices that God has given us as means to draw near to Him. The examples Wesley uses are public worship, the reading and expounding of Scripture, the Lord’s Supper, prayer, searching the Scriptures, and fasting.) Given all that we noted above, these rules should not be thought of as a playbook to will ourselves to holiness by our own power. Rather, they should be thought of as practical ways to draw near to the God who transforms us.
