Buku The Mortification of Sin – John Owen

 In this abridgement of a classic work, the famous Puritan John  Owen shows the need for Christians to engage in a life-long battle  against the sinful tendencies that remain in them, despite their having  been brought to faith and new life in Christ.

Owen is very  insistent that believers cannot hope to succeed in this battle in their  own strength. 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.
