Scripture reveals God's immortality, defining Him as the only One who possesses true, eternal life.
God's immortality is highlighted in 1 Timothy 6:16, where it states He 'only hath immortality dwelling in the light.' Unlike humans, who are mortal and subject to death, God exists in a state of eternal life. His nature is characterized by an everlasting existence that is incomprehensible to man. In Revelation 1:8, He affirms, 'I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.' This underscores that God's essence and life are beyond our temporal understanding. This doctrine is foundational, as it assures believers of God’s eternal existence and His ability to confer immortality to those who trust in Him.
