There's still time...

Two providential winners of John Owen's The Mortification of Sin will be picked on Friday.  Enter the giveaway here.

Set your faith upon Christ for the killing of your sin, His blood is the great sovereign remedy for sin-sick souls.  Live in the light of Christ's great work, and you will die a conqueror.  You will, through the good providence of God, live to see your lust dead at your feet.

By faith fill your heart with a right consideration of the provision that God has made in the work of Christ for the mortification of your sins.  By faith ponder this, that though you are in no way able to conquer your own disordered state, and though you are weary of fighting it, and though you are ready to faint, there is enough in Jesus Christ to give your relief! 'I can do all things through him who strengthens me' (Phil. 4:13).

This helped the prodigal when he was about to faint; that there was enough bread in his father's house.  Even though he was a great distance from home it relieved him and strengthened him that at home he would find help.  In your greatest distress and anguish, consider the fullness of grace, all the riches and treasures of strength, might, and help that are laid up in Christ for our support. 'And from his fullness we have received, grace upon grace' (John 1:16). 'For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell' (Col 1:19)
