Be killing sin, or it will be killing you

from Understand the Bible · host Phill Sacre

Join me to read John Owen's classic book "The Mortification of Sin in Believers". This book is one of the best that have ever been written about how to live a holy life. The second chapter covers why mortification is a duty even of the 'best' / most holy believers. In this chapter we look at: * How sin remains in us once we have come to Christ;* Therefore, we always need to be fighting against it to mortify it.* If we do not, sin will continue to grow and grow and lead us to worse temptations.* Being a Christian gives us the moral strength to oppose sin.* If we do not mortify sin, it will rot our souls.You can download a copy of the book (for free) from this website.Note: this week, I recorded the livestream so I could post it here as well as uploading it to the YouTube channel. I’m planning to do this for each subsequent session!Understand the Bible is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
