2Besides this liberty from sin, and death in this life, there is a glorious liberty, and freedom tha• we have by the Spirit of Christ, when we are dead: for then the Spirit of life that raised Christs dead body, will raise our bodies, and that Spirit of Christ that raiseth his body, and raiseth our souls in this world from sin to believe in him, will raise our dead bodies. The same virtue, and power, ⟨p. 51⟩that works in Christ, works in his members: this is called, The glorious liberty of the Sons of God. Then we shall be freed indeed, not only from the law of sin, but from sin it self, and not only from the law of death, but death it self, and we shall live forever with the Lord. Christ then shall be all in all by his Spirit. Christ will never leave us, till he have brought us to that glorious freedom: we are freed already from sin, and death, he hath set us in heavenly places, together with himself, now; In faith we are there already: but then we shall be indeed. Thus you see how we come to have the law of the Spirit of life in Christ, to free us from the law of sin, and death, and all the passages of it.
