In the sermon of this post, Dr. MacArthur focused on sanctification, which he called the chief business of our Christian life. That is, after being justified, we must necessarily be concerned with holiness until we are glorified. His core text was Colossians 3:1-9, but he referred to a half dozen other relevant texts; he also used those to define a “pathology of sin,” which should benefit listeners because he identified a sequence of sins, from root to fruit. Knowing these will aid those who practice personal self-observation, self-examination, journaling, assessment of their spiritual walks…like Jonathan Edwards did via his personal diary. So, if you have experienced much failure in your walk with the Lord, and need help in defeating your personal sin, then this sermon has some important information for you
