Abstract

Abstract: The digital era heralds a phenomenon of information and communication technology development where aspects of human life can be publicised, including the context of religion, moral values, ethics, and education. This is considered important because it has the potential to produce something useful, ready to face the challenges and dynamics that continue to grow. The use of digital is certainly not free from its negative influences, including ethics and morality. Although it brings benefits, this era also presents challenges, such as the digital divide and information security. This article highlights the importance of Christian religious education in shaping individual character and morality as well as maintaining moral integrity amidst the ever-evolving digital information flow. In the context of Christian ethics, this study emphasises the need for relevant and responsive religious education to address digital dynamics while maintaining Christian values. Through a descriptive approach, this paper analyses the impact of the digital era on education and explains the foundation of Christian ethics in guiding learners' morality. The results show that Christian religious education remains a relevant force in shaping moral character in this digital age through ethical discussions using collaborative platforms, the significance of implementing digital ethics in the religious education curriculum, and the act of analysing big data to respond to the moral challenges of the digital age.

Abstract

The discourse on the sovereignty of God is always a profound topic in Christian theology. It demonstrates that God's sovereignty shows supreme authority and power over all creation, including human life. In the Book of Job, there are two theological views: first, the orthodox retributive theology view where God is depicted as a figure who acts in relation to human actions, that suffering can occur because humans oppose God. Second, is the theodicy theological view, a belief that God has ordained everything so that human efforts and actions do not make a difference or impact in the history of life. The contradictory modern view sees that God allows suffering because of sin and actions, not as a purity of faith to be closer to God. This research aims to provide a deeper theological understanding of God's sovereignty and its relationship to the suffering of believers. Thus helping believers strengthen their faith in the midst of suffering. This research uses a qualitative method with a theological-hermeneutical analysis approach. As a result, this research can be a source of valuable inspiration and teaching and help believers understand and respond to suffering in light of sovereignty. God's sovereignty affirms that God's sovereignty encompasses His power and authority over all creation, including the suffering experienced by humans. Job is a concrete example of fortitude and faith in the midst of suffering.

Abstract

This article explores the challenges of applying Christian values within governmental leadership and their impact on the quality of democracy and national diversity. The purpose of this study is to formulate relevant Christian values and integrate them into the context of Indonesia’s public administration. Using a normative-theological and qualitative-descriptive approach, the research analyzes theological and biblical literature, conceptual frameworks, governmental practices, and comparative studies. The findings highlight several core values — including love, justice, integrity, humility, service, and moral responsibility — that can form the foundation of a servant leadership model for government. In conclusion, integrating these Christian values into governmental leadership offers a transformative approach, strengthening democratic practices and restoring public trust through service, justice, and integrity as guiding principles for leaders.

Abstract

Conversations about the meaning of friend have a variety of empirically and theoretically based definitions. In the text of John 15:9-17, Jesus presents the context of the identity of friends - φίλος, which is associated with the principle of mutual love - ἀγαπάω. This principle gives room for faith to realize love in pluralistic life. Being a “friend” is a new identity revealed by Jesus, contrasting with the identity of “servant”. The meaning of friend is different from what philosophers and those who have experienced it have expressed. Jesus placed the identity of a friend beyond what is commonly discussed. The new identity denies acts of hostility, hatred and violence. To achieve this goal, an exegetical approach is taken to the relevant texts, tracing various sources and presenting different interpretations, analyzing them to formulate their meaning. The meaning of the word “philos” is very diverse, and is associated with the attitude of “love”. Even in this context, the meaning also extends to the enemies as recommended by God, and based on God's mercy. This is then associated with Jesus who loves sinful man. He also gave a new identity of 'friend. The diversity of meanings of friend and love indicates that in formulating the theology of friends, it creates a dynamic hermeneutical principle. In this effort, the research presents a novelty in the formulation of the theology of companions that emphasizes three things: First, the context of the incarnation connected to redemption as a form of God's love for believers (vv. 9-13). Second, the context of Jesus' election of His people (v. 16). Third, the context of the coherence of love for God that is manifested in the relationship with others (vv. 12, 17). In addition, this study contributes to the attitude of loving one another so that it has a positive impact on pluralistic life, living in peace, love, and competing with each other in doing good.

Abstract

Character formation has become a central focus of education, particularly in the modern era marked by complex moral and social challenges. Christian values—such as love, integrity, responsibility, and respect for others—play a crucial role as the foundational basis for shaping students' character. This study aims to analyse the application of Christian values in character development and their impact on students’ personal, social, and spiritual lives. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, data were gathered through interviews, observation, and literature review. The findings reveal that the integration of Christian values in education—through moral-based curricula, the example set by teachers, and the presence of Christian communities—contributes significantly to the formation of students who are ethical, responsible, and possess integrity. Furthermore, these values empower students to act as agents of change within society. This study affirms the importance of value-based Christian education in cultivating morally grounded individuals who remain relevant in navigating the complexities of the modern era.

Abstract

Character is an important subject in discussions about faith, philosophy, and morals. Character itself occupies the space of human life which is realized in the form of humanity relations, moral ethics, and spirituality. The decline of character is a serious phenomenon and challenge in the Christian faith. In some cases, ministers of God fall into the sin of adultery, even displaying bad character in certain actions. It appears that faith and deeds are discrepant and discursive. This fact has created wounds of spirituality and trust in the church. Through a descriptive approach, this study aims to elaborate a Christian philosophy of character that presents an analogous dialogue of views on character in relation to morals, spirituality, and human relations, and states biblical confirmation. The results of this study show that: first, Christian character rests on the juxtaposition of the law of love introduced by God for His people; second, Christian character applies the principle of imitating Christ; and third, Christian character is bound to an eschatological portrait that becomes the foundation for looking forward to His return.
