Abstract

This study aims to examine the concept of the Son of God in the Gospel of John 17:1–26 from a theological perspective. The Gospel of John, one of the canonical Gospels, distinctively emphasizes the divine identity of Jesus as the Son of God. In chapter 17, Jesus prays to His Father in heaven, affirming His unique relationship as the Son of God. The research method employed is biblical text analysis using an exegetical approach. Data were collected from prominent theological sources and relevant academic literature. The findings indicate that the concept of the Son of God in John 17:1–26 encompasses several important theological dimensions, including: first, His equality with God the Father in divinity; second, the uniqueness of His relationship with the Father as the beloved Son; and third, His role in God's plan of salvation for humanity. The conclusion of this study is that the concept of the Son of God in John 17:1–26 affirms the divine identity of Jesus and reveals His intimate relationship with God the Father. This concept has significant theological implications for the Christian understanding of the divinity of Jesus Christ.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the relationship between logic and Christian faith through a philosophical and theological approach. The research methods used include text and literature analysis, such as the Bible, articles and books. This research is motivated by the existence of a paradigm between logic and Christian faith which has been misunderstood so far. Starting from this problem, this research offers ideas that include an understanding of the significant relationship between logic and Christian faith. Although to certain limits there are dimensions of the divinity of the Christian faith that cannot be touched by logical thinking, such as the concept of the triune God, the end of time, and the divinity of God and His eternity. In principle, the only logic that can be compatible with the Christian faith is logic that has been born again. Therefore, it is important to recognize that the relationship between logic and Christian faith is not always contradictory, but can complement each other in strengthening human understanding of complex spiritual and intellectual principles. The relationship between logic and Christian faith is an interesting subject to study because it involves complex and profound aspects of human thought.

Abstract

The doctrine of salvation (soteriology) constitutes the central focus of preaching and teaching within the New Testament, particularly in the writings of the Apostle Paul. A robust and accurate understanding of salvation carries profound theological implications for both the church and individual believers. Nevertheless, this doctrine has often been subject to distortion in both its conceptual formulation and practical application. Certain churches are inclined toward legalism, while others fall into antinomianism, thereby neglecting the ethical demands of the gospel. This study seeks to examine Pauline soteriology through a theological lens and to assess its continuing relevance for contemporary Christian life and practice. The research employs a qualitative literature review of theological and biblical scholarship that centers on Paul’s epistles. In addition, an exegetical methodology is utilized to interpret selected key passages, specifically from Romans, Galatians, and Ephesians, in order to elucidate Paul’s understanding of salvation. The findings indicate that salvation is grounded in the unmerited grace of God, appropriated through faith in Christ, independent of human works, and inherently involves the transformation of life through the agency of the Holy Spirit. Misrepresentation of this doctrine may result in significant deviations within ecclesial life, manifesting either as rigid legalism or as an abuse of Christian freedom. Consequently, the church must intentionally cultivate a biblically grounded soteriological framework that fosters both theological soundness and consistent ethical living. The study concludes that Pauline soteriology remains theologically indispensable and practically pertinent in addressing the doctrinal and ministerial challenges confronting the contemporary church.     Doktrin keselamatan (soteriologi) merupakan inti pemberitaan dan pengajaran Perjanjian Baru, khususnya dalam tulisan Rasul Paulus. Pemahaman yang benar mengenai keselamatan berdampak besar bagi gereja dan umat Kristen. Namun, doktrin ini kerap mengalami distorsi, baik secara konseptual maupun praktis. Beberapa gereja cenderung jatuh dalam legalisme, sementara yang lain terjebak dalam antinomianisme yang mengabaikan dimensi etis Injil. Artikel ini mengkaji soteriologi Paulus secara teologis dan mengevaluasi relevansinya bagi umat Kristen masa kini. Tema-tema utama diidentifikasi melalui studi kepustakaan terhadap karya teologis dan biblikal yang berfokus pada surat-surat Paulus. Metode analisis eksegetis digunakan untuk menafsirkan teks-teks kunci, seperti Roma, Galatia, dan Efesus, guna menelusuri pemahaman Paulus tentang keselamatan. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa keselamatan berakar pada anugerah Allah, diterima melalui iman kepada Kristus, bukan perbuatan manusia, dan mencakup pembaruan hidup oleh karya Roh Kudus. Distorsi terhadap doktrin ini dapat memicu penyimpangan, baik dalam bentuk legalisme maupun kebebasan yang tidak bertanggung jawab. Karena itu, gereja perlu menanamkan pemahaman soteriologis yang sehat, berakar pada ajaran Alkitab, dan membentuk kehidupan etis yang konsisten.

Abstract

Dyothelitism is the doctrine that teaches that in Christ there are two different wills, the divine will and the human will. History records that this doctrine has sparked a very long theological debate among Christians, especially between the Monophysites and the Nestorians. Starting from this fact, through this article, the author will analyse the doctrine of dyothelitism in the perspective of John Calvin, namely analysing how Calvin interpreted and integrated the two wills of Christ in the Christological framework he built, as well as its doctrinal implications for the church today. This research uses a qualitative method with a historical-theological approach, referring to Calvin's works, especially Institutio Christianae Religionis, as well as the results of the Council of Constantinople III (681 AD) which confirmed Dyothelitism as an orthodox doctrine. The analysis shows that the duality of Christ's will not only maintains the balance between His divine and human natures, but also has a significant impact on the understanding of Christian soteriology and spirituality. The article also shows that dyothelitism not only maintains the integrity of Christ's nature as both God and man, but also ensures the effectiveness of His work of salvation. By understanding this concept, the church can more fully appreciate the mystery of the Incarnation and the redemptive work of Christ.

Abstract

This article explores the authority of creation from a biblical perspective, focusing on the phenomenon of gender engineering as an ethical and theological challenge in the modern era. The study is grounded in the Christian belief that the human body is a creation of God, endowed with sacred value, divine dignity, and spiritual purpose. Employing an interdisciplinary approach, this research integrates insights from theology, medical science, and sociology. Its aim is to provide profound theological reflections on bodily modification in light of Christian values and to formulate an ethical framework to help Christians navigate these complex developments. The findings reveal that gender engineering creates a paradox between human freedom and divine authority. Extensive bodily modifications may be seen as violations of the sanctity of the body and the sovereignty of God. Within Christian thought, the human body is not merely a physical entity but a dwelling place of the Holy Spirit, thus requiring deep respect for its dignity. This study offers a significant contribution by presenting a biblically grounded ethical guide to help Christians understand and respond to the moral challenges posed by advances in modern medical technology.

Abstract

The Holy Spirit is a divine person who plays a vital role in all biblical evidence. Since creation, the Spirit of God has been present and actively working in shaping and sustaining creation according to God's will (Genesis 1:2). In the Old Testament, the Spirit of God empowered judges, prophets, and the chosen people to carry out their duties in the plan of salvation, while also providing the basis for the eschatological hope of the renewal of humanity through the outpouring of the Spirit. In the New Testament, the work of the Holy Spirit is increasingly evident through the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, from his birth and baptism to his ministry as the fulfillment of messianic prophecy. In Pauline theology, the Holy Spirit is the core experience of salvation because through the Spirit believers are renewed, freed from the power of sin, and live in fellowship with God. Ephesians 1:13–14 is a key text that affirms that believers are "sealed" with the Holy Spirit, and that the Spirit serves as a "guarantee" of their inheritance of salvation. The term "seal" refers to divine ownership, approval, and protection, while "guarantee" implies an initial payment that guarantees the fulfillment of salvation in the future. However, in contemporary church practice, the meaning of the Holy Spirit as a seal and guarantee is often understood in a limited way, only as a sign of the believer's identity, so that the eschatological dimension and the certainty of salvation are less considered. Therefore, this study examines Ephesians 1:13–14 through a qualitative method with a grammatical-historical exegetical approach within a canonical hermeneutic framework. The results show that the Holy Spirit is a sign of God's ownership of His people as well as a definite guarantee of the perfect fulfillment of salvation in the future. Keywords: Holy Spirit, Seal, Guarantee, Ephesians 1:13–14, Certainty of Salvation, Pneumatology, Soteriology.

Abstract. This study is motivated by the theological debate concerning infant baptism within the Protestant tradition, particularly between the concept of fides aliena in the Reformed tradition and fides propria in the Anabaptist tradition. The primary issue addressed in this research lies in the differing foundations of faith confession underlying the practice of infant baptism and their implications for the church's understanding of faith, salvation, and the sacraments. This study aims to analyze the theological foundations of these two perspectives, explain the hermeneutical differences that shape them, and formulate their theological and pastoral implications for the contemporary church. The study employs a qualitative research method with a normative-critical theological approach and comparative-conceptual analysis. Data were collected through literature studies of the Bible, confessional documents, works of Reformed and Anabaptist theologians, as well as sources in historical and systematic theology. The findings reveal that the Reformed tradition views infant baptism as a communal sign of God's covenantal grace, whereas the Anabaptist tradition emphasizes baptism based on a conscious personal confession of faith. These differences arise from distinct approaches to hermeneutics, ecclesiology, and covenant theology. This study concludes that the church needs to understand baptism from historical, biblical, and pastoral perspectives in order to foster a dialogical attitude and a more responsible formation of faith. Keywords: Fides Aliena, Fides Propria, Infant Baptism, Reformed Theology, Anabaptism, Sacrament of Baptism
