Abstract

This article highlights the significance of believers as bearers of the good news, drawing upon the response of the shepherds in Luke 2:15. In contemporary Christianity, many believers appear passive or hesitant in proclaiming the gospel, often due to misconceptions such as the notion that evangelism amounts to proselytism, that it ought to be replaced by interreligious dialogue or apologetics, or that doing good alone is sufficient for salvation. This study seeks to recover the missional example of the shepherds, who actively shared the message with those who had not yet heard it. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach through biblical textual analysis, the study examines the theological significance of the shepherds’ response. The findings indicate that the shepherds not only received and witnessed the good news but also became its earliest messengers. Their response offers a model for believers today: to embrace their calling to proclaim Christ, that others too might come to faith.

Abstract

Abstract. The main issues addressed in this article are: first, the frequent occurrence of slander among Christians without considering their identity as Christians; second, slander is often seen as a normal action because it is perceived as a form of revenge; third, slander is carried out without rationally considering its impact; fourth, slander is done with the motivation of gaining personal benefit. The author aims to provide an analysis of slanderous behavior from a Christian theological perspective so that Christians do not easily fall into the trap of engaging in or being influenced by slander. Additionally, Christians should not be quick to believe in rumors, but instead, should critically analyze their validity with concrete evidence. The research method used is qualitative. In conclusion, slanderous behavior does not reflect the true identity of a Christian. Keywords: Slanderous Behavior, Christian theology
