Nobody sins voluntarily. We do it because sin offers us some kind of promise of happiness. That promise enslaves us until we believe that God is more desirable than life itself (Psalm 63:3). Only the power in God's superior promises and the gospel can emancipate our hearts from the slavery of sin's superficial promises and ephemeral pleasures.
Pastor John Piper shows how to separate those roots of sin that cling to us, such as: anxiety, pride, shame, impatience, greed, bitterness, despondency, and lust.
Enjoying the goodness of God's glorious gospel promises will lead us to a less sinful life, that is, to the glory of Christ. Rooted in sound biblical reflection, this book will guide you through the battles and joys of victory through the power of the gospel and its superior pleasure.
