Immortality

According to the New Testament, the Gospel of the Kingdom has to do with attaining to immortality in the body, not with going to live in Heaven. How did we get so far off?
We are in need of a restoration of Christian thinking. For example, the goal of most Christians is to escape Hell and go to Heaven when they die. According to the New Testament, the goal of the Gospel of the Kingdom is bodily immortality. Which of these two goals we have in mind makes a significant difference in the way we think about our salvation.
In the way of righteousness there is life; along that path is immortality. (Proverbs 12:28)
The verse above sets forth the issue. The issue is that of righteous behavior. It is the importance of righteous behavior in our salvation that has been lost, largely through the unscriptural doctrine of lawless grace.
Another name for salvation is "redemption." Redemption means restoring to the original owner that which was lost to him, for one reason or another. It was immortality in the body that was lost in the garden in Eden, and it is immortality in the body in Paradise on the earth that Christ came to restore.
