At the business end of John 3.16, John tells us that those who put their trust in Jesus will "not perish". What, then, will happen to them? That's what soteriology, the doctrine of salvation, is all about. Looking at Ephesians 1, Tim outlines some of the benefits of salvation as Paul describes them for the Corinthians. But what of those who don't put their trust in Jesus? Tim finishes with some brief reflections on what kinds of creatures humans are, drawn from Psalm 49, and concluding with the hope of resurrection.
