Podcasts about indwelling sin

This warring is expressible with what vigor and variety sin acts itself in this matter. Sometimes it proposes diversions, sometimes it causes weariness, sometimes it finds out difficulties, sometimes it stirs up contrary affections, sometimes it begets prejudices, and one way or other entangles the soul. The result is that indwelling sin never suffers grace to have an absolute and complete success in any duty. "How to perform that which is good I find not"

A Treatise on Indwelling Sin - a Chapel Library Publication chapellibrary org It is in this case as it is in the contest between a wise man and a fool: "Whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest" (Pro 29:9). Whatever frame or temper he is in, his unceasing folly makes him troublesome. It is so with this indwelling sin: if it violently roars, as it will do on provocations and temptations, it will be outrageous in the soul; or if it seems to be pleased and contented, to be satisfied—it is all as one and the same. There is no peace, no rest to be had with it or by it.

Lukewarmness There is in sin an aversion to God and everything of God, as we have in part discovered in handling the enmity itself, and so shall not need much to insist upon it again. All indisposition to duty in which communion with God is to be obtained; all weariness of duty; all carnality or formality to duty—it all springs from this root.

Every sin increases the principle and fortifies the habit of sinning. It is an evil treasure that increases by doing evil. And where does this treasure lie? It is in the heart. There it is laid up; there it is kept in safety. All the men in the world, all the angels in heaven, cannot dispossess a man of this treasure, because it is so safely stored in the heart. .

"The world falls before the reasonings of this law of sin every day. With what deceit and violence they are urged and imposed on the minds of men, we shall declare later—as also what advantages these reasonings have to prevail upon them. Look on the majority of men and you shall find them wholly at sin's disposal by these means. Do the profits and pleasures of sin lie before them?"

This audio recording is from the Chapel Library publication. It is preferable by how well it has been outlines. "Many men live in the dark to themselves all their days; whatever else they know, they know not themselves. They know their outward estates, how rich they are. And they are careful to examine the condition of their bodies as to health and sickness. But as to their inward man and their principles as to God and eternity, they know little or nothing of themselves. Indeed, few labor to grow wise in this matter; few study themselves as they ought."

In what we have now in design, we take them all for granted, and endeavor only further to carry on the discovery of sin in its actings and oppositions to the Law and grace of God in believers. Neither do I intend the discussing of anything that has been argued about it.

O God, help us to feel worse about our own shortfalls than the failure of others.

Indwelling sin still pervades those who are in Christ. But God's mercy is more than enough to meet, match, and master any guilt we bring to him.

A discussion on Christian experience, self-examination and the subject of assurance of salvation.

it is not only said to be "enmity," but it is said to be "enmity against God." It has chosen a great enemy indeed. It is in various places proposed as our enemy, "Abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul" (1Pe 2:11). Fleshly lusts are enemies to the soul (that is, to ourselves). Sometimes indwelling sin is proposed as an enemy to the Spirit that is in us: "The flesh lusteth [that is, fights] against the Spirit" (Gal 5:17). It fights against the Spirit, or the spiritual principle that is in us, to conquer it. It fights against our souls to destroy them. It has special aims and designs against our souls and against the principle of grace that is in us. But its proper formal object is God:

How do you fight what rises up inside you? In this episode of Light + Truth, John Piper opens Galatians 5:16–18 to show how walking by the Spirit keeps old desires from taking over.

For the right performance of any duty, it is not enough that the thing required be itself performed, but that it be universally squared and fitted to the rule72 of the duty. Herein lies the great duty of the mind: namely, to attend to the rule of duties, and to take care that all the interests of such duties be ordered by such care. Our progress in obedience is our edification, or building up.

The ground of this efficacy of sin by deceit is taken from the faculty of the soul affected with it. Deceit properly affects the mind; it is the mind that is deceived. When sin attempts any other way of entrance into the soul, as for example by the affections, the mind—retaining its right and sovereignty—is able to give check and control to it. But where the mind is tainted, the prevalence of sin must be great, for the mind or understanding is the leading faculty of the soul.

It is said that indwelling sin leads the soul captive "to the law of sin"—not to this or that sin, particular sin, or actual sin, but to the "law of sin." God, for the most part, orders things and gives out such supplies of grace to believers so that they shall not be made a prey to this or that particular sin. He ensures that sin should not prevail in them and compel them to serve it in its lusts. He ensures that sin should not have dominion over them, so that they should be captives and slaves to it.

Indwelling sin's persistence and urgency seem to be noted in this expression of its "warring." Enemies in war are restless, pressing, and persistent; so is the law of sin. Does it set upon the soul? Cast off its motions, and it returns again. Rebuke them by the power of grace. They withdraw for a while, and return again. Set before them the cross of Christ. They do as those that came to take Him: at the sight of Him, they went backwards and fell to the ground, but they arose again and laid hands on Him (Joh 18:6-13). Sin gives place for a season, but returns and presses on the soul again.

Whatever is opposite to anything, as such, is opposite to all of it. Sin is enmity to God as God, and therefore to all of God. Not His goodness, not His holiness, not His mercy, not His grace, not His promises—there is not anything of Him that sin does not make head against. Nor is there any duty, private or public, in the heart or in external works, that sin does not oppose.

Has anyone the perfect measure of his own light and darkness? Upon the proposal of an endless variety of objects for its exercise, can anyone know what acts of choosing or turning away his will will bring forth? Can anyone traverse the various changes in his affections? Do the secret springs of acting and refusing in the soul lie before the eyes of any man?

If such a law of sin in believers, it is doubtless their duty to find it out, to find it so to be. The more they are aware of its power, the less they will feel its effects. It will not at all advantage a man to have a wasting fever and not to discover it, or a fire lying secretly in his house and not to know it. So much as men find of this law in them, so much they will abhor it and themselves, and no more. Proportional also to their discovery of it will be their earnestness for grace, nor will it rise higher.
