How to put sin to death

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. In this chapter we consider what mortification actually IS, rather than what it isn’t (as in the last chapter). Topics covered in this chapter: * What it means to mortify sin (to put it to death);* The need to habitually weaken sin not just at its source but its root;* How people can experience this differently;* We should be continually fighting and what that looks like;* Success against sin.You can download a copy of the book (for free) from this website.
