How to Put Sin to Death: The Biblical Battle Every Christian Must Fight | Jonny Ardavanis

Are you truly fighting sin, or just "struggling" with it? In this powerful episode, we dive deep into Romans 8:13 and the biblical concept of mortification—putting sin to death through the power of the Holy Spirit.

KEY TOPICS COVERED:
• What it means to mortify sin (and why the language is so violent)
• The difference between struggling with sin vs. fighting sin
• How to identify areas where you're making provision for the flesh
• The role of the Holy Spirit in sanctification
• Why accountability is crucial (and what real accountability looks like)
• John Owen's classic teaching: "Be killing sin or sin will be killing you"
• Practical steps to wage war against temptation

SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:
• Romans 8:13 - Putting to death the deeds of the body
• Colossians 3:5 - Put to death what is earthly in you
• Galatians 5:24 - Crucifying the flesh with its passions
• Matthew 5:8 - Blessed are the pure in heart

This isn't about earning salvation through works—it's about living out the new identity Christ has given us. Every believer must engage in this daily battle until we meet Jesus face to face.

Remember: You take a day off from mortifying the flesh, the flesh grows.
