The Christians Charter

by Thomas Watson

Expounding Paul's sweeping declaration that "all things are yours" (1 Corinthians 3:21–23), this Puritan treatise unfolds the vast inheritance belonging to every believer — the world, life, death, things present, and things to come. Watson catalogs twelve royal prerogatives that flow from union with Christ, then answers objections and calls readers to the corresponding duties of gratitude, holiness, and obedience. A rich meditation on Christian privilege and responsibility.
