In his trademark optimistic style, the author plunges into an in-depth exploration of the life of the sanctified Christian. He begins by showing the way of obtaining a cleansed heart, but he does not stop there. He exults in the different shades of divine love and discloses the multiple stages of developing growth in a sanctified life. Exhorting believers to press on toward the prize and refuse to be distracted by the forgiven past, he builds toward a final panorama of glory.
Watson was very much a master of the typology of his day, and his skill shines in the section dealing with the Holy Spirit- a cherished topic in many of his books.
