Deep Dive into The Nature, Power, Deceit, and Prevalency of the Remainders of Indwelling Sin in Believers Together with the Ways of Its Working and Means of Prevention, Opened, Evinced, and Applied with a Resolution of Sundry Cases of Conscience thereunto Appertaining by John Owen - Indwelling Sin Enmity against God - Thence Its Power - Admits of No Peace nor Rest - Is against God Himself - Acts Itself in Aversation from God, and Propensity to Evil - Is Universal - To All of God - In All of the Soul - Constant
John Owen's text establishes that indwelling sin functions inherently as an unyielding, uncurable enmity against God. Rather than a typical adversary that can be placated or reconciled, this corrupt force resists God's entire character, including His holiness, law, and gospel. Furthermore, this hostility is universal, pervading every faculty of the human soul without exception, and remains constant throughout a believer's life. Consequently, because compromise is impossible, the soul's only relief from this pervasive corruption lies in its complete destruction through mortification and watchfulness.
