Join me to read John Owen’s classic book “The Mortification of Sin in Believers”. This book is one of the best that have ever been written about how to live a holy life. This chapter is about the importance and even need of cultivating a true sense of the guilt of sin.

Topics covered in this chapter:

* How we can cultivate a right sense of the guilt for sin and how that helps us as Christians;

* The dangers of not feeling guilty, including being hardened against God; correction in this life; loss of peace and strength; and eternal destruction.

* The evil there is in sin, including grieving the Spirit and taking away our usefulness to God.

You can download a copy of the book (for free) from this website.
