The phrase “Emptying Himself,” by the apostle Paul addressed to the Lord Jesus in Philippians 2:7 can be interpreted in various ways. The phrase can be interpreted that when Jesus was born into the world he was like a human being in general, not divine. It can also be interpreted that Jesus was actually a human being in general who was born with a special mission like the prophets who lived in the Old Testament. The text research on “emptying oneself” is currently one of the important verses in Christian theology regarding Christology, because it describes the action of Jesus Christ who was willing to ‘empty himself’ or what is known as kenosis. The research on the text of Philippians 2:7 will be carried out by analyzing the Greek word kenosis using the literal interpretation method, namely looking for the meaning of the original language of writing, namely Greek. To support the literal interpretation, the researcher will also conduct a contextual, grammatical and historical interpretation study. The research on this text produces meanings including: Jesus gave up His divine attributes without losing the essence of His divinity, in order to become a limited human being and take on the form of a servant. This action not only shows the love and humility of Jesus, who is an example for Christians in everyday life, but also the understanding of the essence of Christ's theology.

The existence of various views on the Incarnation of Christ often causes confusion. Each view provides different arguments. Therefore, a biblical study is needed to provide answers based on biblical principles. The methodology applied is exegesis. Exegesis is a way to interpret the Bible by emphasizing different approaches in the analysis of the original languages of the Bible as the main foundation. In this way, a biblical truth is obtained that can answer the various views that exist. The term incarnation comes from the Latin incarnatio which is composed of in and carnis (in the flesh). This term comes from the Greek translation “σὰρξ sarx sarcosis. Literally, σὰρξ sarcosis means to become flesh. Flesh is literally the muscular part that covers the bones of the human body. Synecdically (a figure of speech that uses a part of something to represent the whole or vice versa, to create a rhetorical or creative effect), it means the physical body as a whole flesh, which is related to the scope of the human worldly situation or mortal nature, earthly descent, blood ties, ethnic groups, and races. In general, this term gives the impression of weakness, fragility, mortality, and participation in human nature. The term σὰρξ – sarx sarcosis is closely related to the opening of the Gospel of John which reveals the word that became flesh (John 1:14). The term flesh (Greek: σὰρξ sarx) in biblical terminology refers to humans with all their anthropological dimensions. In theological terminology, The incarnation is a historical fact that explains that the invisible God, who spoke His word to humans, now clearly appeared as a human being. Jesus Christ is the Word of God who became flesh (John 1:14)

Theological study of the image of God helps to understand the two words, words that are not different in meaning, but reinforce each other. The topic of the image and likeness of God has produced three popular views, namely the substantial, relational and functional views. Each of these three views has advantages and disadvantages. The aim of the research is to present a third view in a balanced way and to develop new thinking apart from conducting comparative and evaluation studies. Methode search as methode kualitatif deskritif. The findings of this study indicate that: First, the image of God is a fully Man. The results of the research on the word image and likeness in Genesis 1:26-31, 5:1-3 and 9:6 prove that the use of the words "image" and "likeness" are not separate or distinct terms. In essence, the meaning of the words "image" and "likeness" is the same. Second, the image of God in Genesis 1:26, is man was created to be God's representative, that is, to rule over His creation, to rule in the sense of carrying out God's mandate. Third, the image of God requires God's Atonement. The history of human life on earth tells that humans violate God's word and cause humans to sin. Humans need redemption to be able to live obediently and be able to carry out God's mandate of "power." The complete restoration of the original man as even more like the heavenly body and that of Christ will take place in the eternities. Fourth, further research. The researcher realizes that the results of this study are still incomplete because it opens up opportunities for further research.

Amanat Agung (Mat. 28:19–20) merupakan mandat fundamental bagi gereja untuk memberitakan Injil sekaligus membentuk murid Kristus. Namun, dalam konteks gereja Indonesia, khususnya Gereja Kristen Nafiri Sion (GKNS), pemuridan menghadapi berbagai tantangan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pemahaman teologis jemaat GKNS se-Jawa Barat terhadap Amanat Agung serta implementasi praktisnya dalam kehidupan bergereja. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan fenomenologi. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi partisipatif, dan analisis dokumen pada lima jemaat GKNS di Jawa Barat. Validitas data dijamin dengan triangulasi metode, sumber, dan waktu, serta member checking.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemahaman jemaat GKNS terhadap Amanat Agung masih dominan pada aspek penginjilan, sementara dimensi pemuridan yang berfokus pada pendampingan, pembinaan rohani, dan transformasi kehidupan belum digarap secara mendalam. Implementasi pemuridan di GKNS masih bersifat fragmentaris, dengan variasi praktik antarjemaat, seperti kelompok kecil, katekisasi, dan pelayanan pemuda. Hambatan utama mencakup keterbatasan kaderisasi pemimpin rohani, kesibukan jemaat, budaya ibadah Minggu yang dominan, serta keterbatasan sumber daya digital. Meski demikian, penelitian ini menemukan potensi strategis berupa komitmen pimpinan jemaat, antusiasme generasi muda, dan peluang pemanfaatan teknologi digital pascapandemi.Dengan demikian, GKNS memerlukan pengembangan blueprint pemuridan yang jelas, program kaderisasi pemimpin, serta indikator pertumbuhan rohani yang terukur. Upaya ini penting agar pemuridan dapat dijalankan secara relasional, transformatif, dan kontekstual, sehingga Amanat Agung dapat diwujudkan secara utuh dalam kehidupan jemaat GKNS.
