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. The fourth chapter covers the benefits of mortification — why it is that we should be concerned about it.

Topics covered in this chapter:

* Power and peace are closely connected with the mortification of sin;

* By contrast, sin will weaken and darken our souls and cause us to lose peace;

* Graces will be enriched by the mortification of sin.

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