By accepting Christ, man is reconciled to God, justified by His blood for the sin by his indwelling life. Thus the gospel becomes the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth. This experience is wrought by the divine agency of the Holy Spirit, who convinces of sin and leads to the SinBearer, inducting the believer into the new covenant relationship, where the law of God is written on his heart, and through the enabling power of the indwelling Christ, his life is brought into conformity to the divine precepts. The honor and merit of this wonderful transformation belong wholly to Christ. That God only hath immortality.
Mortal man possesses a nature inherently sinful and dying.
Eternal life is the gift of God through faith is Christ. He that hath the Son hath life. Immortality is bestowed upon the righteous dead are raised from the grave and the living righteous translated to meet the Lord. Then it is that those accounted faithful put on immortality. That the condition of man is death is one of unconsciousness.
