Abstract

Inductive interpretation is believed and has been proven to be the best method compared to other methods, to produce an accurate and biblical interpretation. This needs to be done so that there is no controversy between one verse and another, because one verse in the Bible will not contradict another verse in the Bible. Make sure that everything we do is only holy, pleasing to God, do good to all people and stay true to the faith that gives salvation to us. Lead those who are still lost with God's love and guard our hearts and ourselves so that we don't fall into sin. Show good character to be an example for them and, love them as Jesus Christ loved all His people. Preach the gospel and teach them to live according to the Word of God, so that they will believe and be saved. A healthy church is the importance of God's servants who can guard their hearts with all their vigilance to be able to serve and shepherd the congregation that God has entrusted. AbstrakPenafsiran secara induktif dipercaya dan telah terbukti merupakan metode yang terbaik dibandingkan metode lain, untuk menghasilkan tafsiran yang akurat dan alkitabiah. Hal ini perlu dilakukan supaya tidak terjadi kontroversial antara ayat yang satu dengan ayat yang lainnya, sebab ayat dalam Alkitab yang satu tidak akan membantah ayat dalam Alkitab yang lain. Pastikan yang kita kerjakan segala sesuatunya hanya yang kudus, berkenan di hadapan Tuhan, lakukanlah kebai-kan terhadap semua orang dan tetaplah teguh pada iman yang memberi keselamatan kepada kita. Pimpinlah mereka yang masih terhilang dengan kasih Tuhan dan jagalah hati dan diri kita sendiri agar kita tidak jatuh ke dalam dosa. Tunjukkan karakter yang baik supaya menjadi teladan  bagi mereka dan, kasihilah mereka seperti Yesus Kristus mengasihi semua umatNya. Beritakanlah injil dan ajarlah mereka menyelaraskan hidup sesuai Firman Tuhan, supaya mereka percaya dan diselamatkan. Gereja yang sehat adalah pentingnya pelayan Tuhan yang dapat menjaga hati dengan segala kewaspadaan untuk dapat melayani dan menggembalakan jemaat yang Tuhan percayakan.

Abstract

Sejak jatuh ke dalam dosa, manusia terpisah dari Allah. Allah menjadi pribadi yang kudus sedangkan manusia menjadi mahkluk yang berdosa. Dampak yang ada bukan hanya dari sisi keterpisahan tetapi kehidupan manusia yang tidak memiliki pengharapan. Sejak Yesus mati untuk menebus manusia, setiap orang diampuni dan dibenarkan dari dosa. Sejak itulah, hidup manusia memiliki pengharapan dan kepastian akan keselamatan di dalam Yesus. Roma 1;16-17 merupakan tulisan Paulus tentang misi. Di dalam tulisannya, Paulus memiliki keyakinan bahwa Injil sebagai kekuatan Allah yang menyelamatkan setiap orang. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian pustaka dengan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif. Berdasarkan pembahasan yang ada Injil merupakan kekuatan bagi semua orang dan menjadi tugas bagi orang percaya untuk terlibat dalam pemberitaan injil dan menjadikan penginjilan sebagai gaya hidup sehari-hari.

Abstract

Sunday school is one of the supporting facilities in spiritual development for children, so they can get to know God the Creator from an early age. In addition, Sunday School can also be a forum for the church to lay the foundation of Christian faith for children, so that they can reflect the character of life in accordance with Bible teachings. However, what is happening today is that more and more Christian children are starting to leave the church. This was disclosed by Prof. Dr. Thomas Pentury, M.Sc., based on research results, there are as many as 50% of the Christian millennial generation in Indonesia who have left the church. Here it can be seen that the church today needs good management, especially in Sunday School activities so that the children who are being taught in the future remain faithful to serve in the church. Therefore, in this article the writer uses literature review to answer the problems raised. With the aim, that the church can have a picture or concept of good management in the Sunday School ministry, so that the children who are taught continue to have loyalty to church services.

Abstract

The Apocalyptic genre is one genre that is difficult to understand because of its long intricacies and requires accuracy. One reason for the difficulty in interpreting the apocalyptic genre is the use of symbols that are not uncommon for today's readers. The use of symbols is very close to the speaker and, the first reader. The Book of Daniel is identical to the many uses of the symbolic language of the two Apocalyptic genre Books in the Bible. Readers increasingly need to be careful and careful when classifying symbol languages because there are differences in the use of symbols and language of descriptions. This paper was prepared by searching the literature with a qualitative approach. With the support of data from journal articles and cognate books, the research achieved the expected goals. The discussion begins by describing the apocalyptic genre based on literal facts. Then examine the uses of symbols, images, and others and the need for the interpreter's humility when trying to interpret this genre, especially in the use of symbolic language. The results show that many parts can be understood by following the rules of interpretation of the apocalyptic genre in the use of symbolic language. But some parts are precisely still a mystery to the reader as sealing of their meaning.AbstrakGenre Apokaliptik termasuk salah satu genre yang sulit untuk dipahami karena seluk-beluk yang panjang dan memerlukan ketelitian. Salah satu penyebab sulitnya menafsir genre apokaliptik yakni pemakaian simbol-simbol yang tidak lazim bagi pembaca masa kini. Pemakaian simbol-simbol sangat dekat bagi penutur dan pembaca pertamanya. Kitab Daniel identik dengan banyaknya pemakaian bahasa simbol dari dua Kitab genre apokaliptik dalam Alkitab. Pembaca semakin perlu berhati-hati dan teliti ketika mengelompokkan bahasa-bahasa simbol karena terdapat perbedaan penggunaan simbol dan bahasa penggambaran. Tulisan ini disusun dengan penelusuran kepustakaan dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Dengan dukungan data dari artikel jurnal dan buku-buku serumpun maka penelitian mencapai tujuan yang diharapkan. Pembahasan dimulai dengan memaparkan genre apokaliptik berdasar fakta-fakta literal. Kemudian menelisik penggunaan simbol, gambar dan yang lain serta perlunya kerendahan hati penafsir ketika mencoba menafsirkan genre ini khususnya dalam penggunaan bahasa simbol. Hasilnya menunjukkan banyak bagian yang dapat dipahami dengan mengikuti kaidah penafsiran bagi genre apokaliptik dalam pemakaian bahasa simbol. Namun ada bagian-bagian yang justru masih menjadi misteri bagi pembacanya sebagai penyegelan terhadap maknanya.

Abstract

The Toll House concept according to Seraphim Rose and Growth of Faith. This article discusses Toll House and the Growth of Faith which is reviewed according to the book The Soul After Death to explore one of the church's traditions inherited from the Church Fathers. This book is a book that is not known by many believers therefore this topic is rarely discussed, even in the Church. Therefore, this paper aims to invite believers to be on guard in the face of death, so that in all things can be done and done with the understanding that whatever we do now will be accounted for later. This dogmatism is supported through the book The Soul After Death and interactions with the Bible as well as other books or articles that discuss about Toll House, resulting in a growing spiritual life through Toll House tradition or doctrine. The dogmatic from Toll House reminds believers that while living in this world, we must fight to fight the evil spirits by keeping watch, purifying ourselves, living in holiness so that believers will no longer live in power. the evil one (sin) but instead directs his life toward the goal of God to create mankind that is to be similar to the image and likeness of God (Theosis).
