Building Strong Faith: with the Theological Basis of Christian Education as the Basis of Life in Facing the Challenges of the Age with Solid Biblical Values

Abstract

In the face of increasingly complex social, cultural, and technological dynamics, Christian education has a strategic role in forming a solid faith. The theological foundation of Christian education not only functions as a transfer of knowledge, but also as a means of spiritual transformation for believers to remain steadfast in facing the challenges of the times. This research aims to analyze how Christian education can be the main foundation in building a character based on solid biblical values. This study uses a literature study method with a qualitative approach to explore and analyze various academic literature related to Christian educational theology. Data sources consist of theological books, scientific journals, ecclesiastical documents, and relevant previous research. The data obtained were analyzed using content analysis and hermeneutic techniques, which aimed to identify patterns and meanings in academic texts and apply biblical principles in the context of Christian education. The results of the study show that Christian education plays an important role in building the character and resilience of the faith of believers. Values such as love, perseverance, integrity, and truth must be integral to the Christian educational curriculum so that students can develop a mindset that is in harmony with the teachings of Christ. In addition, the use of technology in Christian education has also proven to be effective in increasing the involvement of the younger generation in spiritual learning. With a holistic approach and based on biblical values, Christian education can be an effective tool in shaping individuals who are ready to face the challenges of the times.
