Abstract

The digital age has intensified value disruption, spiritual distraction, and a crisis of faith formation, challenging Christians to cultivate a mature and resilient spirituality. The Gospel of John offers a robust pneumatological foundation through the ministry of the Holy Spirit, who guides believers into truth, sustains Christ’s presence, and nurtures authentic Christian faith. This study aims to reconstruct pneumatological spirituality from the Gospel of John as a theological framework for Christian faith formation in the digital age. Employing a qualitative approach through theological exegesis of John 14–16 and 20:21–23, the study critically engages the pneumatology of the Gospel of John with contemporary digital theology. The findings demonstrate that the Holy Spirit as the Paraclete embodies the continuing presence of Christ, leads believers into truth amid competing digital narratives, and forms a new creation community characterized by relational presence, spiritual discernment, and faithful witness. Based on these findings, the study proposes a pneumatological spirituality framework comprising relational presence, epistemological discernment, and a new creation community. This framework contributes a biblically grounded theological model for Christian faith formation, equipping believers to respond faithfully to the opportunities and challenges of the contemporary digital age
