Immortality and Righteousness

Immortality is God's seal of perfect righteousness. None but righteous beings are made immortal. God only has inherent immortality. Man was created capable of both righteousness and immortality, but his immortality is made to depend upon his righteousness. As "the wages of sin is death," and "sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death," so righteousness, when perfected, brings forth immortality, or deathlessness. Perfected righteous character is worthy to persist forever.
