The reformation of the church must continue, and it is closely related to the reformation of worship. The starting point of the reformation of worship is that the God who is the object of Christian worship is the Trinity God, and whether this Trinity God is concretely realized in worship. As an Anglican priest in the 18th century, John Wesley, who led the reformation of the British society and church at the time, argued that the doctrine of the Trinity God was a simple intellectual task and that it was regarded as an abstract doctrine that failed to reveal the salvation work of the Trinity God in the Bible. In response to the deism and natural religion with a background of deism in the 17th and 18th centuries, Wesley asserted that the doctrine of the Trinity is a teaching that the Bible testifies to in order to correctly achieve the faith, salvation, worship, and training of Christians, and that the history of God’s salvation is none other than the history of the salvation of the Trinity God. Wesley argued that the discussion of how the Trinity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit can become one God is ultimately not only incomprehensible, but also does not conform to the explanation of the Trinity God mentioned in the Bible. Based on this, the use of the language of “Trinity” and “Person” is inevitable, but it is not absolutely necessary to use them. Wesley points out the danger of misusing the “the Means of Grace” by claiming that prayer, the Bible, and the Eucharist themselves have the power given to them, or that grace can be experienced without these means. Wesley, through the theology of worship based on the theology of the triune God, asserts that the subject of grace is the triune God, and that the grace of the triune God can be experienced through means.
