GRACE GREAT IN STRENGTH?SUBDUES SIN. RA CE subdues sin. Sin is strong and the law is strong, but the grace that comes through Jesus Christ is stronger than sin when invested even with the full strength of the law. When sin has done its utmost and carried us into the lowest depths of depravity we find something lower still. The grace of Christ that bringeth salvation has a depth beyond that into which sin has carried us. When it has taken us to the very ends of the earth, we find a length in the grace of Christ to reach us even there, and at the gates of Hell we may feel his grace grasping and subduing us as it grasped and subdued, in the days that are past, the sweet singer of Israel and the apostle of the Gentiles. That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height, and to know the love of God which passeth knowledge. And when it has wasted and ruined our noble frame, and has robbed us of all that made us beautiful, leaving us weak as withered grass, dead anddry as the bones in the valley of vision, it has not unfitted us for grace, nor placed us beyond its soul- quickening and soul-subduing power. Let us but touch the hem of Christ's garment from whom all saving virtue comes, and we are free and sin shall not have dominion over us. Before the grace of Christ sin is weakness, and its strength as a gossamer thread. a. Grace subdues sin with ease. When sin works and rages within us and is tempestuous, like an angry sea, and we are ready to be swallowed up by its raging lusts, grace subdues it with the ease with which Christ stilled the storm on the sea of Galilee, saying ' Peace be still, ' and there was a great calm.

Killing Sin is John Owen's Puritan classic Mortification of Sin updated for today. Owen tackles the age-old challenge for the Christian: how to put to death the power of sin over our lives. This is something that is impossible through man-centered self-help or self-denial. But with God all things are possible. Though we will never be completely free of sin while alive in this world, by putting our faith on Christ with an expectation of His help, the Holy Spirit will bring the His cross into our hearts with all its sin-killing power. Owen tells us why it is imperative for the Christian to be killing sin in his life, what it actually means to kill sin, why only a Christian can do it, why it is only possible through the power of the Holy Spirit, and how we can avail ourselves of the power of the Spirit to kill sin through gospel faith in the death and resurrection of Christ. Owen's original Mortification of Sin was written in 17th century English that is extremely difficult to understand. This Killing Sin translates Owen into contemporary English that is easy to read without dumbing it down so people today can read this very important book on a most critical topic.

My own private opinion is that there is no such thing as preaching Christ and him crucified, unless you preach what now-a-days is called Calvinism. It is a nickname to call it Calvinism; Calvinism is the gospel, and nothing else. I do not believe we can preach the gospel, if we do not preach justification by faith, without works; nor unless we preach the sovereignty of God in his dispensation of grace; nor unless we exalt the electing, unchangeable, eternal, immutable, conquering, love of Jehovah: nor do I think we can preach the gospel, unless we base it upon the peculiar redemption which Christ made for his elect and chosen people; nor can I comprehend a gospel which lets saints fall away after they are called, and suffers the children of God to be burned in the fires of damnation after having believed. Such a gospel I abhor. The gospel of the Bible is not such a gospel. We preach Christ crucified in a different fashion, and to all gainsayers we reply. "We have not so learned Christ." (Charles Spurgeon)

We are accustomed to thinking of the gospel solely as the means by which we enter the kingdom of God. While it is true that believing the gospel results in our justification and eternal life, the gospel also has consequences for the entire Christian life from start to finish.
