Phil Johnson: The Pilgrim’s Battle with Indwelling Sin | Truth In Love 2026

In this powerful session from the Truth In Love Conference 2026, Phil Johnson delivers a necessary and sobering message titled "The Pilgrim’s Battle with Indwelling Sin." Addressing the universal frustration that every believer faces, Phil Johnson explores the relentless nature of "besetting sins"—those stubborn faults and entanglements that seem impossible to shake. Drawing primarily from Romans 12:1-2, as well as Hebrews 12 and Romans 7, Phil Johnson dissects the difference between external behavior modification and true, internal transformation. He argues that authentic holiness is not merely a change in appearance or public behavior but a radical renovation of the heart and mind. The sermon challenges the modern church's tendency to conform to the world and offers a biblical roadmap for the mortification of sin through the renewing of the mind. Key Topics Covered in This Sermon: The Reality of the Struggle: Understanding why even mature Christians groan under the weight of indwelling sin (Romans 7:24). The Danger of Secret Thoughts: How the private life of the mind is the true barometer of spiritual health and the incubator for all external sin. Conformity vs. Transformation: An exposition of Romans 12:2, explaining how believers must resist the pressure to be molded by the spirit of the age. The 6 Practical Steps to Mind Renewal: Phil Johnson outlines six biblical strategies for overcoming persistent sin habits, including confirming your salvation, clearing your conscience, and cultivating spiritual gifts. Sermon Outline & Highlights: The Nature of Entanglement: Defining "besetting sins" as a web or fishing line that trips up the runner in the race of faith. The Locus of the Battle: Why the law of God is designed to govern the heart, mind, and will—not just the hands. The Danger of Hypocrisy: A warning against maintaining a pious veneer while harboring "mental sewage" and secret sins. A Call to Radical Amputation: Discussing Jesus’ command in Matthew 5 to cut off the hand or pluck out the eye if it causes you to stumble. Six Steps to Victory: Confirm Your Salvation: Ensure you possess the Spirit, for the natural mind cannot please God. Clear Your Conscience: Repent deeply and make restitution where necessary to silence the accuser. Commit to Private Holiness: Cultivate the fear of God in solitude, where true character is revealed. Cultivate Your Spiritual Gift: Replace idleness with edifying service and ministry. Continue Steadfastly in Prayer: Using prayer as a proactive weapon against temptation. Cling to What is Good: Abhorring evil and meditating on whatever is true, honorable, and pure (Philippians 4:8).
