Displaying the holy violence a Christian must put forth in seeking glory.
Starting from Jesus’ words that “the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force” (Matthew 11:12), Heaven Taken by Storm reminds us that Christians are spiritual warriors and that the kingdom advances through warfare. As Watson puts it, “Our life is military, Christ is our captain, the gospel is the banner, graces are our spiritual artillery, and heaven is only taken by force.”
In his typically pithy style, replete with practical illustrations and impassioned observations, Watson describes how the Christian is to take the kingdom of heaven by holy violence through the reading and exposition of Scripture, prayer, meditation, self-examination, conversation, and the sanctification of the Lord’s Day. Moreover, he movingly calls the believer to be vigilant against the flesh, Satan, and the world. Soldiers of Christ will find in this book a practical handbook on Christian living.
