Abstract

The congregation of GBKP Batang Serangan often understands suffering through a doctrinally rigid perspective that assumes every form of suffering is a direct consequence of personal sin. This assumption creates pastoral challenges, as it may lead to stigmatization of those who suffer and obscure the biblical view of God’s grace and love. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between sin and suffering within the understanding of the GBKP Batang Serangan congregation, focusing on analyzing congregational perceptions regarding the direct connection between sin and suffering, and its impact on their faith life. This research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative interviews with five key informants and quantitative data collected from 79 respondents through questionnaires. The findings reveal that although most congregants still associate suffering with sin, they also recognize that righteous individuals may experience suffering. These insights highlight the need for deeper theological formation to help congregants develop a more holistic and biblical understanding of suffering in their spiritual journey.

Abstract

The practice of making vows has been found to potentially deviate from its authentic theological meaning among members of the Huria Kristen Indonesia (HKI) Special Resort Tarutung. Preliminary observations indicate that some congregants tend to understand vows in a transactional manner, perceiving them as a form of "bargaining" with God. This study aims to examine the concept of vows from a dogmatic theological perspective and to analyze its relevance for the HKI congregation. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, utilizing questionnaires administered to 45 respondents and in-depth interviews with five key informants. The findings reveal that 93% of respondents have made vows and 97% believe that vows influence their relationship with God; however, only 20% consistently fulfill the vows they have made. This indicates a significant gap between commitment and practice. The study concludes that the relevance of understanding vows for the HKI congregation lies in the importance of cultivating a proper attitude of faith in relationship with God, in which congregants are encouraged not to treat vows as obligations or transactions, but to express gratitude to God through Faith Commitments that arise from obedience and sincere service.
