Christian liberty is either the liberty of grace in this life, or the liberty of glory after this life. The liberty of glory concerns either the soul or the body. The glory or liberty of the soul, is the freeing of it from all sin and misery, and the setting of it in the possession of that blessed immortality in heaven. The liberty of the body, is the freeing of it from the bonds of death, and bowels of the earth, by enduing it with a glorious resurrection: part of which freedom they enjoy even in the grave.
