What would Jesus do?
The phrase "What would Jesus do?" (often abbreviated to WWJD) became popular in the United States in the 1990s and as a personal motto for adherents of Evangelical Christianity who used the phrase as a reminder of their belief in a moral imperative to act in a manner that would demonstrate the love of Jesus through the actions of the adherents.
In popular consciousness, the acronym signifying the question—WWJD—is associated with a type of bracelet or wristband which became a popular accessory for members of Christian youth groups in the 1990s.
History
Early Protestantism
Protestant theology since the 18th century had been divided in its interpretation of justification by free grace.
John Wesley in 1766 postulated the concept of Christian perfection, a moment in the life of a Christian at which the regeneration effectuated by the Holy Spirit results in a "perfection in love" which means that at least at that moment one is being motivated wholly by love of God and neighbor, with no taint of sin or ulterior motives in effect. While such Christian perfection is expressed in outward action, it is also the effect of grace. Indeed, Wesley could speak of sanctification by faith as an analogous doctrine to the more widely held belief in justification by faith. Because Christian perfection is also visible in outward good works and a rigorously moral lifestyle, adherents of the Holiness movement assumed that a perfectly moral lifestyle is a consequence (not the cause) of the state of grace and ultimate salvation.

You think a little faith will stop catastrophe
Well I've got news for you, it's looking pretty bleak
Unless we all start thinking, wake up, stand up,
Get up off your knees
In a time of desolation, what we need is real salvation,
In a time of desolation
When you look up to the sky, you see your life is ruled by lies,
You cannot look up for an answer
Look to him, what should I do? Follow do not think,
These are the building blocks of our society,
Slit the wrists, watch the false truths drain into the sink,
When will you see the answer lies in you and me
In a time of desolation, what we need is real salvation,
In a time of desolation
When you look into my eyes, you see the dark polluted night
You cannot look up for an answer
Look to myth to solve reality,
When will you see the answer lies in you and me
In a time of desolation, what we need is real salvation,
In a time of desolation
When you look up to the sky, you see your life is ruled by lies,
You cannot look up for an answer
In a time of desolation, what we need is real salvation,
In a time of desolation
When you look up to the sky, you see your life is ruled by lies,
You cannot look up for an answer
When you look into my eyes, you see the dark polluted night,
