What does the Bible say about taking salvation by force?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that those who seek salvation do so with urgency and zeal, saying they 'take it by force' (Matthew 11:12).

In Matthew 11:12, Christ explains that the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. This illustrates that true seekers of salvation approach it with desperation and urgency. The violent in this context refers to those who exert force and energy in seeking Christ, recognizing their desperate need for his grace and mercy. They do not merely wait passively for salvation; they actively pursue Christ with zeal and eagerness because they understand that He is their only hope for forgiveness and righteousness.
