This book addresses one of the most fundamental truths of the Christian life – the putting to death of the sin that continues to reside in the child of God. The soul of the modern believer desperately needs this teaching to be equipped to live the new life received from God.
Some teach that the new birth brings a kind of immunity from the action of sin. Others say you just have to stand aside and let God work. But these concepts are not found in the reality of life. Even the most dedicated believer is engaged in a very severe and continual battle – a fight to the death.
It is true that Christ gained complete victory on the cross, and that his work secures heavenly bliss for all who belong to him. But the enemy, struck with a mortal blow, redoubles his fury and perversity. And it has many access points into our mortal body.
Alone, no man can face it successfully. But, in the strength of Christ, the fight is not lost in advance. The believer needs to remember what “putting sin to death” means. He must not forget what the Bible tells him. Sin is a liar with a loose tongue. Listening to it is fatal.
A clear and lucid book, very practical and accessible, which proves to be an asset in the arsenal of the Church of Christ for its spiritual combat.
