Indwelling Sin in Believers (Annotated)

Book Introduction

Many Christians today are not making much progress in their lives, even though they attend meetings steadily and have regular devotions. They faithfully fulfill their religious responsibilities, but their hearts never seem to be close to the Lord. What is the reason for this? Perhaps the root is indwelling sin.

This book is part of Owen’s trilogy on sin. In this book, John Owen exposes the deceitful ways in which indwelling sin invades the human heart, and Owen provides crucial insights into the impact that the sin nature has on our daily walk with Christ. He teaches believers to be on the alert for every move of indwelling sin so that they do not unknowingly fall into spiritual decline. This book will also bring comfort to believers and help them grow in holiness.
