Directions for Killing Sin

How shall we go about killing sin?  In chapter 14 of On Mortification of Sin, John Owen gives specific directions for this work.  I'll post here the substance of these directions:

"Set faith at work on Christ for the killing of thy sin.  His blood is the great sovereign remedy for sin-sick souls.  Live in this, and thou wilt die a conqueror; yea, thou wilt, through the good providence of God, live to see thy lust dead at thy feet" (p. 79).
