Only Jesus Christ is Immortal

There is no eternal life in hell for the unsaved.

There seems to be a misunderstanding about who has eternal life in the afterlife. Most Christians now believe that both those who are saved and unsaved have eternal life after we die in this realm, yet is this really true according to the Holy Bible?

The Bible states that only Jesus Christ is immortal, which means only those in the body of Jesus will have eternal life in the Kingdom of God and Heaven.

This means that those who are not in the body of Jesus Christ, i.e. those who don’t believe nor have faith in the Holy Bible, will not have eternal life, as only Jesus Christ is immortal and those in his body.

As believers, we are part of the body of Jesus Christ.

Here are the scriptures that explain this:

1 Timothy 6:16

Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen.

The preceding verses, 14–15 explain this verse is talking about Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 12:12

For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
