The Mortification of Sin

Book • 2004
John Owen's "The Mortification of Sin" is a classic work of Puritan theology that delves into the spiritual battle against sin.

Owen masterfully explores the nature of sin, its pervasive influence, and the believer's ongoing struggle against it.

He emphasizes the necessity of relying on the Holy Spirit for victory over sin, highlighting the importance of spiritual disciplines and the transformative power of God's grace.

The book offers practical guidance and profound theological insights for Christians seeking to live a life of holiness and obedience to God. It's a timeless resource for understanding the Christian life as a spiritual warfare and the role of the Holy Spirit in overcoming sin.

The book's enduring relevance lies in its clear articulation of the ongoing struggle between the flesh and the Spirit, a struggle that resonates deeply with believers across centuries.
