Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine and analyze the Use of Smartphones in Participating in Bible Study (PA) Worship for Young Men and Women at GKPPD Panji Bako, Dairi Regency in 2024. The research method used is qualitative research. The informant determination technique is purpose sampling based on certain criteria that are in accordance with the research topic. The data collection technique for this study is to use semi-structured interviews and documentation in the form of images. Based on the analysis of the interviews that have been conducted, the author found that the young men and women of GKPPD Panji Bako were greatly helped by the presence of Smartphones in worship. In today's digital era, smartphones have become an important tool that facilitates access to information and communication quickly and efficiently. This shows that the use of smartphones during PA worship can increase participant participation and involvement through easy access to Bible materials, supporting applications, and other digital resources. In addition, smartphones allow young men and women to interact and discuss in real-time through social media and instant messaging applications, which can enrich their understanding of the topics discussed. The results of the study also revealed that smartphones help overcome physical and geographical limitations, allowing young men and women who cannot be physically present to remain involved in PA worship through online streaming and video conferencing. Thus, the use of smartphones in the context of Bible study worship has the potential to support spiritual growth and build a more inclusive and connected community.

Abstract

This study focuses on the concept of salvation by grace as taught in Romans 3:23-26 and its relevance to the understanding of the GKPPD congregation today. Through a literature review with a theological approach, it was found that the doctrine of salvation by grace is the core of Christian teaching. In this passage, the Apostle Paul explains that all humans have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). However, salvation is given through redemption in Christ Jesus, not as a result of human effort, but as a gift of God alone (Romans 3:24). Salvation is given through faith in the blood of Christ which redeems and takes away sin (Romans 3:25). In the context of the congregation today, the understanding of salvation by grace remains relevant. Many GKPPD congregations are still trapped in trying to obtain salvation through or obedience to the law, even though Romans 3:23-26 emphasizes the importance of faith in Christ's redemptive work. This study highlights that teaching about God's grace should foster a sense of gratitude, humility, and commitment to living in faith, not in fear or legalism. This study confirms that the concept of salvation through grace is the center of Christian faith teachings that need to continue to be lived and conveyed in the lives of the GKPPD congregation today and increase theological knowledge about the concept of salvation and can be a reference for theology students and reading materials in the IAKN Tarutung library.
