The Ways Indwelling Sin Spiritually Corrupts

By John Fast

The power and efficacy of indwelling sin is most evidenced by its actual effects in the lives of true Christians, either in the eruptions of actual sin, or in the degeneration, decay, corruption, and cooling of their original love and devotion to Christ and His word.

How Sin Works to Gain and Retain the Consent of the Will

By John Fast

The third step in sin’s progressive work is in gaining the full and total consent of the will unto the actual commission of sin leading to death (Jm 1:15). This is given as the reason for the Northern Kingdom of Israel’s destruction by the Assyrian Empire in 722 B.C., “And they rejected His statutes and His covenant which He made with their fathers, and His warnings with which He warned them” (2 Kgs 17:15).
