Abstract

As a redeemed people, love should be the primary character of believers. However, one of the challenges in the end times is that the love of many will grow cold. This is evident in the rapidly developing digital era, which has transformed nearly every aspect of human life. The social world has become more open, and news or information is quickly accessible to many. One phenomenon that often occurs is the tendency for people to disclose many things publicly, both good and bad, including the sins of others. Acts of shaming, bullying, and exposing others’ faults have become commonplace, even among Christians. Issues concerning love are frequently discussed in the Bible and often lead to varying interpretations. One verse that often draws attention is 1 Peter 4:8, which contains the phrase “love covers a multitude of sins.” This study aims to understand the meaning of the phrase “love covers a multitude of sins” according to 1 Peter 4:8 and provide guidance for believers in applying love within the context of this challenging digital era. The author uses an exegetical method to analyze this text in order to provide a biblical response for believers in facing current phenomena. The results of this study show the importance of love as a top priority for believers, as true love does not focus on exposing others' faults but rather on covering and forgiving them. Believers are taught not only to prioritize sincere love within themselves but also to reflect God's love, which was revealed through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, to others through concrete actions, specifically by not exposing the faults or sins of others and by not repaying evil with evil.

Abstract

This study discusses the phrase “image and likeness” in Genesis 1:26, which has caused much debate regarding the creation of man from the perspective of theologians and lay Christians. Genesis 1:26 is conflated with Genesis 5:1-3, as well as the appearance of the conjunction “and” in Genesis 1:26 which is not found in the original Hebrew text. In addition, practices such as the marriage of humans with animals and humans with objects further damage the image of God in humans. The purpose of this study is to provide a proper explanation of the true meaning of the phrase “image and likeness” in man. The method used is qualitative exegesis with eight steps of analysis: grammatical, lexical, textual, contextual (near and far context), structural, historical, theological, and exegetical. The results show that the addition of the conjunction “and” is a mistake, because in the Hebrew text there is no conjunction ? (we) which makes it seem as if the two words have different meanings, and that humans as the image and representative of God in the world must display God's authority. In conclusion, “image” and “likeness” have the same meaning; and man as the image of God must display authority and have dignity that is different from the rest of creation.
