Temptation: Resisted and Repulsed
by John Owen
An abridged, modernized edition of John Owen's classic Of Temptation, built on Christ's warning in Matthew 26:41 to watch and pray. Owen distinguishes between simply being tempted and actually entering into temptation, then lays out how a believer can recognize the danger, guard the heart, and use watchfulness and prayer as the two great safeguards.
Based on Of Temptation: The Nature and Power of It (1658), by John Owen
From the book
In John Owen's own words
“We may be tempted, yet not enter into temptation.”
“He that would be little in temptation, let him be much in prayer.”
“God can make a way for a man to escape; when he is in, he can break the snare, tread down Satan, and make the soul more than a conqueror, though it have entered into temptation.”
