Here are some great quotes from the introduction and text of a book by the great Puritan John Owen that a friend of mine loaned me as I prepped for this week’s sermon.
“By making life easier for ourselves in minimizing the nature and seriousness of our sin, we become greater victims of it.”
“Be killing sin or it will be killing you.”
“The vigor, power and comfort of our spiritual life depends on the mortification of the deeds of the flesh.”
“When sin lets us alone (which it won’t) we may let sin alone.”
“He who finds not opposition from it (sin), and who sets not himself in every particular to its mortification, is at peace with it, not dying to it.”
