El secreto de mortificar la carne - John Owen

The Secret of Mortifying the Flesh by John Owen There's a problem no Christian can escape. Have you noticed it? You pray. You read the Bible. You go to church. And yet... there's something inside you that keeps dragging you down. A pattern of sin that keeps returning. A weakness that persists. An addiction you swore you'd overcome, and that resurfaced last week. This isn't a sign that you're not a Christian. It's a sign that you haven't yet learned what a 17th-century man discovered that transformed Christian theology forever. His name is John Owen. He was a theologian, pastor, and chancellor of Oxford University, and he wrote what is perhaps the most impactful work ever written on the Christian's internal struggle with sin. Today we're going to open this book. We're going to look inside. And I promise that if you stay until the end of this video, you'll understand why you're stuck and what to do about it. The question is simple: Are you mortifying sin, or is sin mortifying you? If this video helped you, tell me in the comments: what part impacted you the most? And if you know someone going through this, share it. It might be just what that person needs to hear today. If you'd like to delve deeper, I'll leave a comment recommending Owen's work in Portuguese: 'On the Mortification of Sin' is a book that will change the way you understand the Christian life.
