Abstract

The purpose of this contextual theology-based study is to analyze the leadership character transformation embedded in Christian ethical values, particularly in preventing corruption, upholding justice, and building institutional trust. Through a qualitative study with philosophical textual analysis and selected case studies, this study reveals that persistent social inequality is often maintained by a system that exploits political power legitimation. Meanwhile, religious institutions, particularly churches, which play a crucial role in shaping the character of leaders with faith-based integrity, are still struggling with both internal and external challenges. The findings of this study showed that leadership transformation based on Christian morality should not merely focus on individual transformation but also systemic, which requires a reconciliation between Gospel values and contemporary democratic practices.

Abstract

This paper examines the theological role of the Holy Spirit as Spiritus Eschaton—the Spirit who guarantees, seals, and fulfills God’s plan of salvation—in response to renewed eschatological debates sparked by the viral “rapture” rumor of September 2025. Using theological hermeneutics and historical analysis of biblical Greek and Hebrew texts, as well as early church traditions, the study explores the concept of arrabōn tou pneumatos (“the guarantee of the Spirit”) in Ephesians 1:13–14 and 2 Corinthians 1:22. It finds that the Holy Spirit serves as tangible proof of believers living between the age of grace and the age of fulfillment. The paper concludes that the church should not be driven by fear of apocalyptic events but should instead focus on faith and the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit in facing the end times with hope.
