Glorious Freedom
Richard Sibbes's exposition of 2 Corinthians 3:17-18, unfolding the liberty the gospel brings over the bondage of the law. He shows how Christ, 'that Spirit,' gives life to all Scripture and frees the believer, and how by beholding Christ's glory the soul is progressively changed into his image.
Based on The Excellency of the Gospel above the Law (1639), by Richard Sibbes
From the book
In Richard Sibbes's own words
“The law is a dead letter; yea, and so is the gospel too without Christ. He is 'that Spirit' which gives life unto all the Scriptures.”
“His fulness of the Spirit is as the fulness of the fountain; ours is but as the fulness of the cistern. He hath grace in the spring; we have it but in the conduit.”
“What is the scope of the whole Scriptures but Christ?”
