Christ's resurrection was bodily. He will destroy death before returning control back to the Father, at which time the entire creation would be all in all.

Salvation is not a one time event, but a continuous process—not just immunity from death, but a total transformation of our nature into a new creation.

Under both the Old and New Covenants, refusal to keep to keep God's Law severs the relationship. God's law protects us and brings us quality life.
