Like an experienced general, Owen sets out the strategy and tactics of indwelling sin with unrivaled insight and clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBased on Romans 7:21, ‘I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil present with me’, Owen’s work shows that sin is a powerful inward law or principle lodged in the heart whose whole nature is enmity against God. This powerful river, flowing from the Fall, can only be brought under control by regenerating grace. However, sin’s enmity remains in believers after conversion, and the long war against it is one in which all Christians must engage.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThough this is a book about sin, it is no less about the all-sufficient grace of Christ. There is much here to strengthen and comfort the believer. Owen never lets us think that we must depend on our own unaided efforts. Nor are we sent to the law for help, since defeating sin is something the law cannot do. Our victory lies in seeing to it that the springs of grace remain open, and that communion with God in Christ remains our joy and delight.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis abridgement seeks to make Owen more accessible to present day readers, but carefully retains the essence of his thought and as many as possible of his own expressions. It is a companion volume to \u003cem\u003eThe Mortification of Sin and Temptation Resisted and Repulsed\u003c\/em\u003e, also published by the Trust in the same series.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Enemy Within\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Law of Sin\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSin in the Heart\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnmity against God\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAversion to Everything Good\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLusts at War with God\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCaptive to an Enraged Foe\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Deceitfulness of Sin\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePrayer and Meditation Undermine Sin\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Mind on Guard against Sin\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eKeeping the Heart\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Yielding of the Will\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGod’s Bridle on Sin\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSin Breaking Out\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBlocking the Springs of Grace\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e‘That Inbred Traitor, Sin’\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat the Law Can and Cannot Do\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Banner of Truth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53009677812023,"sku":"qsj1789811228203","price":3.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/8910\/4695\/files\/indwelling-sin-in-believers---puritan-paperbacks_1.jpg?v=1789811233","url":"https:\/\/effortlesschicclad.shop\/products\/indwelling-sin-in-believers-puritan-paperbacks","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
