Mathew E. Sousa demonstrates that in certain respects, John's
doctrine of salvation fails to align with its customary depiction
in Johannine scholarship. Sousa suggests that, according to John,
the human predicament is not merely "unbelief" or a lack of mental
perception, and Jesus's mission consists not merely of "revelation"
and/or a purely forensic atonement. Rather, Jesus is (for John) the
one who makes true and everlasting life an accomplished fact for
humanity, and in doing so Jesus reveals the true nature of the
predicament from which he saves. Sousa argues that salvation in the
Gospel of John concerns "ethics" and the quality or condition of
human corporeality. The matters of sin and death in particular also
make clear that, according to John, the human predicament is a
reality that in various ways persists for believers as they both
are and become children of God. Sousa thus concludes that salvation
for John consists of far more than the emergence of belief in a
moment of decision.
