”…for the letter kills, but the spirit gives life…seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech…now the Lord is that spirit: and where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all…are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” (2 Corinthians 3:6-18)
Paul is talking about the difference between the Law and the Spirit…both are glorious because they are originated by God. However, one kills us and one brings us back to life.
“For the wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life...” (Romans 6:23)
Mankind participates in both…death by Law…life by Spirit. And it is all a part of God’s plan and He WILLS it to be so.
“For God is at work in you both to WILL and to WORK for HIS good pleasure.” (Philippians 2:13)
When mankind is finally “made alive” in “spirit” at the resurrection to "eternal life", then we will be set at liberty…free indeed…and God will then be "All in all".
”For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive… that God may be all in all.” (1 Corinthians 15:22-28)
