Abstract

The tongue is a small part of the body that holds significant power to influence both individual life and community well-being. James 3:1–12 provides a firm warning about the dangers of an uncontrolled tongue, depicting it as a fire, a world of evil, and deadly poison. This study aims to examine the meaning of controlling the tongue as a responsibility of Christian spirituality through a literature review and exegetical-hermeneutical analysis of James 3:1–12. This qualitative research employs primary data from the biblical text (Indonesian Bible Society version and the Greek text) and secondary data from commentaries, Christian ethics books, and theological journals. The findings indicate that controlling the tongue is a sign of spiritual maturity and an essential aspect of Christian discipline that must be continuously cultivated. Disciplined speech reflects living faith and serves as a means to foster love, truth, and peace within the community. This study highlights the need for churches and believers to integrate ethical speech as a core part of their witness in the world.

Abstract

This article is rooted in Paul's exhortation in Ephesians 5:16, "make the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil," which carries profound theological and ethical relevance for addressing the challenges of time management in the digital age. The background of this study arises from the widespread phenomenon of digital distraction among Christians, where technological advancements often lead to wasted time and a decline in spiritual quality of life. The purpose of this research is to analyze the meaning of "redeeming the time" in Ephesians 5:16 through biblical exegesis and contextual hermeneutics, and to explore its practical relevance for Christian time management today. This study employs a textual exegetical method, including linguistic analysis of key Greek terms in the original text, along with a contextual hermeneutical approach to relate the biblical message to the realities of the digital era. The findings indicate that “redeeming the time” demands a faith-driven awareness to wisely seize every kairos opportunity amid a world full of distractions. In conclusion, Ephesians 5:16 provides a strong theological foundation for Christians to manage their time proactively, productively, and in alignment with God’s will in the face of digital life challenges.

Abstract

God justice is evident in the actions, laws, and even punishment that God gives to sinful humans. Humans must obey God by not committing evil acts. God will enforce justice against humans who do evil. Amos 2:6 explains that the Israelites had sinned repeatedly, causing God to punish Israel. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to find out an exegetical understanding of God justice based on Amos 2:6-16 which can be implied in the attitude of life of believers not to do evil deeds in the eyes of God. In writing this article, the author used a library research research method (Library Research) with a descriptive qualitative approach by interpreting (hermeneutics), exegesis (digging the Bible) and exposition (explaining the purpose and purpose of the text). The results of research on God's Justice Based on Amos 2:6-16 explain that God punished Israel for sinning against God. Israel sold the righteous and the poor for money, led the poor astray, committed adultery, rejected the prophet who conveyed God law. As people who believe in God, humans must obey and not commit sins against God. Do not sell the righteous and poor for money, do not lead the poor astray, do not commit adultery, do not serve God, and do not forget the goodness of God in life that brings salvation.
