Pengaruh Pendidikan Agama Kristen Dalam Membentuk Etika Kristen Bagi Orang Dewasa

Abstract

Christian Religious Education (CRE) plays a strategic role in forming Christian ethics in adults, encompassing thought patterns, attitudes, and behaviors aligned with biblical values. This research aims to analyze how CRE influences the development of Christian ethics, focusing on individual moral transformation manifested in daily life. Research findings indicate that CRE provides not only theological understanding but also helps adults internalize values such as love, justice, honesty, and forgiveness. Through learning processes, spiritual reflection, and church community support, adults become more capable of confronting complex moral challenges in modern society. The application of Christian ethics often faces obstacles from cultural norms, social pressures, and a lack of deep biblical understanding. Therefore, continuous religious education is necessary to strengthen moral commitment and Christian faith. Moreover, CRE plays a role in building individual character that positively impacts families, communities, and society. By encouraging adults to become change agents who reflect Christian values, CRE not only shapes individuals but also reinforces the spiritual and ethical foundations of future generations.
