Summary
Kelly Coppock discusses John Owen's approach to fighting sin through a ten-step framework emphasizing both mortification (putting sin to death) and vivification (pursuing life in Christ). Rather than moralistic self-effort, Owen's theology grounds sin-fighting in Christ's finished work and the Spirit's power, calling believers to examine sin's roots, resist temptation early, and cultivate longing for freedom while resting in God's commitment to their sanctification.
Highlights
The reason why we fight sin is not just because we're guilty and we have sin, but because we're made not to be in sin, and we're more free, we're more liberated, we're able to love by resisting sin.
God is more committed to your sanctification than you are.
To be sanctified, God's not trying to make you more than human. He's trying to renew your humanity. He likes what he made.
