John Owens shows the need for Christians to engage in a life-long battle against the sinful tendencies that remain in them, despite their having been brought to faith and new life in Christ. Owen insists that Christians cannot succeed in this battle in their own strength. The battle can be won only through faith in Christ and in the power of the Spirit. Fighting sin with human strength will only produce self-righteousness, superstition and anxiety of conscience. With faith in Christ, and with the power of the Spirit, victory is certain.
