Killing Sin and Denying Self

Thomas Watson

How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?
ROMANS 6:2

We all have the same problem: sin. In this book, Thomas Watson puts our sin on full display not to leave us wallowing in despair but to heighten our appreciation of God’s matchless grace. He begins by tracing the miserable consequences of Adam’s sin and the pervasive grip it has on our lives to this day. He goes on to detail the ways and reasons sin brings us so low and the proper ways to respond. He concludes by walking us through the duty of denying sinful self-absorption. Watson helps us understand how sin causes us to fall short of God’s best for us and points us to the remedy in Christ.

THOMAS WATSON (ca. 1620-1686) graduated from Cambridge University and became one of the leading Puritan ministers of London.
