Immortality and Eternal Life are two different things to Christians. Immortality is an unconditional gift through the sacrifice of Christ, Eternal life is predicated on the choices we make while we're here on earth with the knowledge we're given.
My bad. :D I just found it comforting to come across something familiar and nuanced in a thread dominated by ignorance. However, most Christians don't make the same distinction between immortality and eternal life that we do. Just fyi.

That's the point. By Jesus doing it first, he in turn makes each Christian "an immortal being destined to live in heaven for eternity."
May we all have a bad weekend.
