He sees clearly that the fight can be won only through faith in Christ, and in the power of the Spirit. Fighting sin with human strength will produce only self-righteousness, superstition and anxiety of conscience. But with faith in Christ, and with the power of the Spirit, victory is certain. The temptations in times like Owen's and ours are obvious on every side; the remedy to them is clearly pointed out in this practical and helpful book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- \/SHORT DESCRIPTION --\u003e","brand":"Other","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37114145027,"sku":"9781800402683","price":7.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1171\/9000\/files\/mortification-of-sin.jpg?v=1776720382"},{"product_id":"mortification-of-sin","title":"The Mortification of Sin","description":"\u003ch1 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Mortification of Sin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eBy John Owen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Timeless Puritan Classic on Killing Sin, Walking by the Spirit, and the Daily Work of Holiness\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\"Be killing sin or it will be killing you.\"\u003c\/em\u003e — John Owen\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are you doing with the sin that remains in you?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEvery believer knows the struggle.
