Eternal Life and Immortality
"Eternal Life" is the life which is in harmony with God's eternal law. The believer possesses it now by faith. John 3:16; 1 John 5:11, 12. The unbeliever does not know it. When character is formed and Christ comes, the believer will possess it absolutely, forever. "Immortality" is a state or condition which one can possess now only in character. When Christ comes, God will stamp with immortality, incorruptibility, those whose characters are incorruptible.
