Puritan Wisdom


“The law of sin ‘dwelleth’ in us; – that is, it is years as a depraved principle, unto our minds in darkness and vanity, unto our affections in sensuality, unto our wills in a loathing of an aversion from that which is good; and by some, more, or all of these, is continually putting itself upon us, in inclinations, motions, or suggestions to evil, when we would be most gladly quit of it.”– John Owen, The Nature and Power…of…Indwelling Sin…, in The Works of John Owen, Volume 6:  Temptation and Sin, 167.
