{"product_id":"temptation-resisted-and-repulsed","title":"Temptation: Resisted and Repulsed","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this abridged and easy to read edition of John Owen’s classic work, the famous Puritan theologian opens up Matthew 26:41, carefully explaining what temptation is and what is involved in entering into it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHe then shows how Christ teaches two means for Christians to use to guard against this danger, namely watching and praying: ‘These two’, Owen says, ‘comprise the whole endeavour of faith for the soul’s preservation from tempation’, and he insists that it is the duty of every believer to follow diligently Christ’s instructions to avoid falling into temptation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOwen helpfully applies his teaching, showing us how we can know whether we have entered into temptation, what practical steps should be taken to preserve our souls from entering into it, how to identify those particular times when people tend to enter into temptation, and the best ways of watching the heart itself.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSinclair B. Ferguson has written: ‘Many of Owen’s readers have come away from reading him on such themes as temptation and indwelling sin feeling that Owen knew them through the through.’ However, not only do Owen’s penetrating insights open up areas of need in our own hearts, they also open up correspondingly profound assurances of grace in the Lord Jesus Christ. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe General Nature of Testing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat is Temptation?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEntering into Temptation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTemptation’s Hour\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOur Great Duty: To Avoid Temptation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Folly of Trusting in Our Own Hearts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTemptation Darkens the Mind\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePublic Temptations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePrivate Temptations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhy Must We Fear Temptation?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eKnowing Our Danger\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMeans of Preservation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePraying for Protection\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWatching in Seasons of Special Danger\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWatching Our Hearts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWatching for the Approach of Temptation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhen Surprised by Temptation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eKeeping the Word of Christ’s Patience\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA Sure Preservative\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConsiderations That Keep Us Safe\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHelp in Watching Against Temptation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGeneral Exhortations \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Banner of Truth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53009742987575,"sku":"kxe1789812865418","price":3.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/8910\/4695\/files\/temptation-resisted-and-repulsed_1.jpg?v=1789812870","url":"https:\/\/effortlesschicclad.shop\/products\/temptation-resisted-and-repulsed","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
