Writing from Romans 8:13—\u003cem\u003e\"if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live\"\u003c\/em\u003e—Owen presses one relentless, hopeful truth: the sin we do not kill is busy killing us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Mortification of Sin\u003c\/em\u003e, Owen dismantles the shallow remedies we so often reach for—mere willpower, outward reform, or a vague resolve to do better—and points instead to the only power that can put sin to death: the Spirit of God at work in a living faith. This is not a call to self-hatred or grim self-effort. It is a call to wage war on sin the way the gospel intends, with Christ's strength rather than our own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOwen writes as both physician and pastor.
