Sin rarely announces itself as something that wants to destroy us.
It often begins small.
A thought we entertain.
A habit we excuse.
A temptation we stop fighting.
A compromise we learn to live with.
But John Owen gave Christians a warning that leaves little room for complacency:
**“Be killing sin, or it will be killing you.”**
The Christian life isn't about making peace with sin. It's about continually bringing it into the light, confessing it, resisting it, and putting it to death through the power of the Spirit.
📖 **“Put to death therefore what is earthly in you.” — Colossians 3:5**
And one of our greatest weapons in that fight is God's Word.
Jesus answered temptation with Scripture. We should learn to do the same.
When temptation comes, have truth already hidden in your heart—ready to remind you who God is, what He has commanded, and who you are in Christ.
**Don't feed what Christ calls you to fight.
Know the Word. Resist sin. Pursue holiness.**
