Abstract

One of the theological titles addressed to Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God. This title can be found in John 1:29 and 1:36 which is the title of John the Baptist to Jesus,and is not found in the Synoptic Gospels. A number of scholars have attempted to interpret the phrase Lamb of God both in a literal and figurative sense and there are a number of different meanings. In this paper, the author seeks the meaning of the phrase Lamb of God in John 1:29 using the exegetical method. The exegetical method used three analyses: contextual analysis, historical, and grammatical and literal analysis. From the analysis carried out, it was found that the meaning of the phrase Lamb of God which is directed at Jesus explains the work of Jesus' salvation through His death on the cross which brought redemption and remission of sins for humans by taking Jewish background: the Passover lamb, and the divine qualities possessed by Christ as the Lamb of God.

Abstract

Psalm 68:19 and Ephesians 4:18 are indeed related: for Paul quotes the verse as a passage in Ephesians. However, Paul's citation method is polemical because there is a clear textual difference between Psalm 68:19 and Ephesians 4:8. The research results in this article use a qualitative method, a literature study involving lexical and grammatical analysis. The result of the analysis in this article is that the conversion of the word לָקַ֣חְתָּ or ἔλαβες in Psalm 68:19 to ἔδωκεν for Paul in his letter does exist. Paul's textual alteration has two factors: First, Paul's position as the Interpreter of the Bible. Thus, when quoting Psalm 68:19, Paul is not just quoting. He made an effort to interpret the quote for the Ephesians. Secondly, Paul was a Jew. The tradition of interpreting Judaic literature does seem to involve changing grammar or words in an attempt to articulate the passage so that the reader of the letter can easily understand the meaning of Psalm 68:19. Given Paul's Jewishness, the alteration of לָקַ֣חְתָּ or ἔλαβες in the original text of Psalm 68:19 to ἔδωκεν in Ephesians 4:8 is one example of the application of interpretive tradition of Judaic literature. Further analysis is needed to understand Paul's motif for citation Psalm 68:19.

Abstract

The struggle over whether salvation can be lost or not is a topic that frequently attracts attention among Christians. In the view that salvation can be lost, one of the verses used is Romans 11:22, particularly the word "cut off." On the other hand, there are views that disagree with interpreting this verse as evidence of the possibility of losing salvation. Based on these differing views, a deeper examination of the referenced verse is necessary. In analyzing this verse, the author will use a hermeneutical method with four analytical approaches: contextual, grammatical, lexical, and historical analysis. Based on the exploration of the text in Romans 11:22, it was found that the meaning of the word "cut off" does not refer to the possibility of losing salvation but serves as a stern warning that those who have been saved should not fall back into sin and transgression, as happened to the people of Israel in the past. However, if believers fall into sin, God will take firm action to remind them to repent and return to Him.

Abstract

This article aims to explore the theological meaning of the phrase “the epistle of Christ” in 2 Corinthians 3:3 in relation to the nature of Christians using a hermeneutical approach. Apart from that, this article will also discuss the application of this meaning in the lives of Christians in contemporary society. The hermeneutic approach applied includes three analyses: contextual analysis, grammatical analysis and lexical analysis. Based on the results of the excavation of 2 Corinthians 3:3, it was found that the nature of Christians is related to several things, including the calling of Christians as the epistle of Christ, their position and role, as well as their responsibility in bearing their existence as the epistle of Christ.

Abstract

Sex education for children in Sunday schools, particularly those aged 0–12 years, is a significant topic that sparks diverse opinions among church leaders. The rapid development of information technology today compels both parents and educators, within schools and churches, to provide children with sexuality education that is consistent with the teachings of God's Word. This paper, through a literature review of scholarly journals and relevant books, aims to examine the importance of sexuality education, focusing on the need to adapt it to children's developmental stages and its integration into ecclesiastical settings. Drawing from the perspective of Genesis 1:27, the goal is for children to learn to respect and honor both themselves and others, while also understanding appropriate boundaries in interpersonal relationships. Such knowledge is essential to protect children from the risk of sexual violence, which remains a critical concern.

Abstract

Philippians 2:12 (KJV), which contains the exhortation “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,” often serves as a focal point of debate in theological discussions regarding the relationship between God’s grace and human responsibility. This paper aims to theologically examine the nature of the relationship between grace and responsibility as reflected in this verse, employing contextual, historical, and grammatical analysis through a hermeneutical approach. The author argues that salvation in Pauline theology is not a past event that has already occurred, but rather an ongoing process grounded in God’s initiative. The emphasis on “fear and trembling” is not a form of legalistic fear but rather an expression of reverence arising from a proper understanding of the immense grace of God. Accordingly, this verse demonstrates a synergy between God’s work and human active participation in the process of salvation; although distinguishable, they cannot be separated or confused. This study is relevant for a balanced Christian understanding of faith that integrates both grace and responsibility.

Abstract

This article aims to elucidate the principles and approaches of hermeneutics within the Eastern Orthodox Church tradition through a library research method that examines the documents and literature of the Eastern Orthodox Church. The hermeneutical method of the Eastern Orthodox Church emphasizes communal interpretation, the unity of Holy Scripture with Holy Tradition, the role of the Holy Spirit in interpretation, the continuity of apostolic succession, and an orientation toward the spiritual transformation of the faithful. The approaches employed include the Christological-Pneumatological, ecclesiological and patristic, literal, allegorical-typological, ethical, moral and spiritual, ascetic, as well as liturgical and iconographic approaches. Collectively, these approaches demonstrate that Eastern Orthodox hermeneutics is inseparable from the life of the Church and aims to lead the faithful toward theosis, the union with God. This article affirms that, in the Eastern Orthodox Church, Holy Scripture is understood holistically as the living Word, interpreted in the light of the Church’s faith, and lived out in the spiritual life of the faithful.

Abstract

This study examines the theological significance of Pentecost through a hermeneutical and dogmatic approach within the Eastern Orthodox tradition. Methodologically, it integrates a hermeneutical reading of Acts 2:1–13 with a doctrinal and liturgical-spiritual analysis rooted in the dogmatic theology and liturgical heritage of the Eastern Orthodox Church. The findings reveal that Pentecost is not merely a historical event, but a mystical and sacramental reality continuously experienced in the liturgical life of the Church. The descent of the Holy Spirit is interpreted as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy, the transformation of the apostolic community, a universal missionary mandate, and the realization of mysterion (divine mystery) through the sacraments and worship. Thus, Pentecost becomes a convergence of Scripture, doctrine, and liturgy, offering a dynamic and Christocentric vision of the Spirit-filled life in the Church.

Abstract

The liturgy of the Eastern Orthodox Church embodies a profound richness of symbolic and theological meaning, particularly in the services of Esperinos (Vespers, Evening Prayer) and Orthros (Matins, Dawn Prayer), celebrated both daily and in anticipation of the Lord’s Day (Sunday). This article specifically explores the theological significance of these two liturgical hours. Employing a historical-theological approach rooted in patristic writings, alongside dogmatic theology through the study of Orthodox liturgical texts, this study highlights how these hours shape the spiritual life of Orthodox Christians. Esperinos marks the transition from evening to morning, echoing the biblical narrative of creation and the eschatological hope for divine light. Orthros, celebrated before sunrise, symbolizes Christ’s resurrection and proclaims the dawn of the new era, the age of grace and salvation manifested in the light of Christ. These services are not mere liturgical formalities, but serve as a medium of apostolic kerygma that forms the faith consciousness and spirituality of the faithful. This article also opens space for ecumenical dialogue within the Indonesian Christian context, particularly in enriching the understanding of worship as the heart of ecclesial life oriented toward the mystery of salvation.
