The Mortification of Sin John Owen

From dwelling on humble thoughts to longing for deliverance, The Mortification of Sin provides nine specific directives on how to mortify sin. Using this guidebook, Owen s asserts that since our sinful tendencies remain even after we find new lives in faith and Christ, completely eliminating sin is impossible without Christ s help. However, by using Owen s directives as we fight lifelong battles alongside Christ, we can weaken, mortify, and eventually eliminate sin.
