Christ has conquered all in his own person, first, and he is God overall, blessed for evermore; and therefore, over sin, death, hell, Satan and the world. And as he has overcome them in himself, so he overcomes them in our hearts and consciences. Christ sets up his kingdom in the conscience, and makes it a kind of paradise. The Spirit of Truth, to whose tuition Christ has committed his church, and the truth of the Spirit is the Sceptre of Christ, abide forever…This truth must not only live forever, but likewise prevail over all that oppose it, for both the Word and the Spirit, are mighty in operation (Heb. 4:12)… A little faith strengthened by Christ will work wonders. —Richard Sibbes
