Abstract

Allah telah menciptakan manusia itu segambar dan serupa dengan diri-Nya, dan Allah menempatkan manusia sebagai makhluk paling mulia dibandingkan dengan ciptaan Allah lainnya. Manusia diciptakan sebagai makhluk yang paling mulia menunjuk kepada hubungannya dengan Allah jauh berbeda dengan ciptaan lain. Namun pada realitanya manusia itu hidup tidak seperti yang dikehendaki Allah, manusia melakukan sesuai dengan kehendak dirinya sendiri. Ketidaktaatan kepada perintah Allah membuat manusia itu jatuh ke dalam dosa dan merusak hubungan manusia dengan Allah. Konsekuensi dari dosa juga merusak citra diri manusia sebagai ciptaan yang mulia. Kecenderungan manusia adalah merusak dirinya dengan berbagai kegiatan-kegiatan yang berkontradiksi dalam landasan firman Tuhan. Manusia tidak lagi melakukan seperti yang Allah kehendaki bagi dirinya, sebab itu gambaran Allah dalam dirinya telah rusak, membuat manusia tidak memiliki kemampuan untuk bersatu kembali dengan Allah. Tujuan dalam penelitian ini yaitu untuk memberikan sebuah refleksi teologis mengubah paradigma lama manusia tentang keberadaan dirinya sebagai makhluk ciptaan Allah yang mulia dan memberikan kesadaran kepada manusia untuk memahami konsep hidupnya yang telah dibaharui oleh Allah melalui Kristus. Dalam penelitian ini penulis menggunakan metode kualitatif murni yaitu menemukan data atau informasi melalui sumber artikel, jurnal, buku dan peneliti-peneliti lainnya. Hasil dari penelitian ini untuk menjadikan orang percaya hidup berkualitas dan berintegritas dalam mengikuti Tuhan. Bahkan menjadi generasi Kristen yang menyadari akan keberadaan diri sebagai ciptaan Allah yang paling mulia serta menajadi makhluk ciptaan Allah hidup dengan penuh bertanggungjawab.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji keteguhan iman Musa sebagai pemimpin bangsa Israel serta keyakinannya kepada janji Tuhan, yang tercermin dalam Keluaran 14:13-14. Artikel ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif analitis, menganalisis teks Alkitab untuk menggali makna dari respons Musa terhadap krisis rohani yang dihadapi bangsa Israel, ketika berada dalam situasi terjepit antara Laut Teberau dan pasukan Mesir yang sedang mengejar mereka. Eksegesis dilakukan melalui studi pustaka terhadap teks Alkitab, terjemahan yang relevan, serta literatur buku teologis, dan jurnal yang membahas kepemimpinan dan iman pemimpin. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keteguhan hati Musa dalam memimpin dan keyakinannya kepada janji Tuhan tampak dalam seluruh tindakan iman dan perbuatannya. Musa mengajarkan bahwa pemimpin harus mengandalkan Tuhan ketika menghadapi tantangan di depan mata, bahkan ketika situasi tampak tidak menguntungkan. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa keteguhan hati dan keyakinan Musa menjadi teladan penting bagi pemimpin masa kini, yang dapat belajar untuk mengandalkan iman kepada Tuhan sebagai dasar dalam menghadapi krisis dan mengambil keputusan penting dalam kepemimpinan Kristen.

Abstract

The Role of Christian Religious Education Teachers in Shaping Students’ Character Based on Deuteronomy 6:7-9 The role of Christian Religious Education (CATE) teachers in shaping students' character is pivotal in the context of moral and spiritual education. This paper elucidates how Deuteronomy 6:7-9, which directs parents to educate their children in the ways of the Lord, can be applied within the formal education setting. Deuteronomy 6:7-9 emphasizes the importance of continuously educating children about God’s laws, both at home and in school. In this regard, CATE teachers play a key role as educational agents who help convey spiritual and moral values to students. CATE teachers have the responsibility not only to impart knowledge of the Christian faith but also to guide students in understanding and internalizing the moral values inherent in God's teachings. Through consistent and directed instruction, CATE teachers can help shape students' character in accordance with the principles outlined in Deuteronomy 6:7-9. In the modern education context, CATE teachers also serve as exemplary models in living out Christian values in everyday life. By being consistent and authentic examples, CATE teachers can inspire students to develop strong and responsible characters in line with God's teachings. Thus, this paper concludes that the role of CATE teachers in shaping students' character based on Deuteronomy 6:7-9 is highly significant. Through teaching, guidance, and good examples, CATE teachers can assist students in gaining a deep understanding of Christian values and applying them in their daily lives.

Abstract

This article discusses the importance of teaching faith in the family through a theological reflection on Deuteronomy 6:6-7. Education in the family is understood as the main foundation for the formation of children's character and spirituality, especially in the midst of modern-day challenges such as globalization, technological advancement, and value pluralism. Deuteronomy 6:6-7 provides a strong theological basis for parents' responsibility to instill God's word repeatedly and consistently in children's daily lives. Through a library research approach, this article examines the historical background of the Israelites, where the teaching of faith was an integral part of patriarchal family life, as well as their challenges in maintaining their faith identity in the midst of foreign cultures. The exegetical explanation of Deuteronomy 6:6-7 shows that the teaching of faith is not just a verbal act, but must be internalized in the real life of parents and children. Verbs such as “teach it again and again” and “talk about it” in the original Hebrew text indicate an intentional, consistent, and diligent effort in faith education. Thus, the teaching of faith is not only done through formal commands, but also through daily conversations, living examples, and the application of godly values in every aspect of family life. Furthermore, this article emphasizes the family as a mediator of God's revelation, where the Christian family functions as a “domestic church” that introduces God's love and truth to the next generation. Parents have a prophetic role in home life, responsible for not only teaching the word cognitively, but also living it out through concrete actions. Faith education in the family should be ongoing, creating a space for open dialogue so that children understand their faith more deeply and relevant to the challenges of the times. The article also elaborates on the continuity of God's covenant, where the teaching of faith aims to maintain people's commitment to God from generation to generation. The inheritance of faith is not just about maintaining traditions, but forming communities that live in faithfulness and love for God. The repetition of the teaching of the word serves as a strategy to strengthen children's faith and identity amidst the threat of foreign cultural influences that contradict the values of the Christian faith. In practice, this article emphasizes that parents should be creative and contextual in teaching methods, such as using Bible stories, family prayer, reading the word together, and engaging in spiritual activities. Thus, faith education at home becomes a dynamic process that touches all dimensions of a child's life, from emotional, social, to spiritual aspects. Overall, this article concludes that faith education in the family is the primary responsibility of parents that must be carried out with high theological awareness, life commitment, and perseverance. Through consistent faith education, the family will be the first and foremost place where children experience, understand, and live the word of God, so that the new generation can grow as individuals with strong faith, divine character, and ready to face the challenges of the times. By making the family the center of faith formation, the continuity of the covenant relationship with God can be maintained in every generation.
