Glorious Freedom
Sibbes expounds 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 on the surpassing glory of the gospel compared to the law of Moses. He shows how Christ as 'that Spirit' gives life to all Scripture and ordinances, how the Spirit brings liberty from the bondage of the law, and how believers beholding Christ's glory are progressively transformed into His image.
