MORTIFICATION

OF SIN

CHAPTER 7

MORTIFICATION
AND FAITH

Unless a man is a true believer,

and grafted into Christ, he can
never truly mortify a single sin.

What is it about mortification

that makes it impossible for
anyone but true believers?

It is true, it will be, required of

every person whatever that hears
the law or gospel preached, that
he mortify sin.

It is his duty, but it is not his

immediate duty; it is his duty to
do it, but to do it in Gods way.

Sin is to be mortified, but

something is to be done in the first
place to enable us thereunto.

A man may easier see without

eyes, speak without a tongue,
than truly mortify one sin
without the Spirit.

What do unbelievers do that

may look like mortification,
and why do they do it?

What light is needed for

mortification? What heat?
How does the Spirit provide
both?

Why do people so readily

confuse coming to Christ with
mortification?

How would you explain the

relationship between
mortification and conversion to
someone who confuses the two?

What is the danger of

attempting mortification
apart from union with Christ?

How will this simply make

worse ones state in sin?

What are the dangers of which

we must be aware as we talk
to individuals about particular
sins in their lives?

What is the difference

between breaking mens
hearts and breaking men off
from particular sins?

What are the outward signs of

each and how do they differ?
