Freedom from Sin's Dominion

For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
Romans 6:14

The heart will be ruled by something. And we can be certain that sin's purpose is not to merely tempt people but to reign over their hearts. Considering this, John Owen helps us understand what it means for sin to have dominion and discern whether it has such a mastery over us. More significantly, Owen points us to the power of grace to break sin's dominion and set up a dominion of its own.

Read Owen and learn to distinguish the rebellion of sin from the dominion of sin.
