EXPLANATORY AND CONFIRMATION OF THE CONCEPT OF ANTONEMENT BASED ON COLLOSIANS 1:15-23 IN THE SERVANTS OF GOD THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH IN WEST KALIMANTAN

Abstract

Atonement can only be made by the Lord Jesus Himself through the holy blood of Jesus, through His death on the cross, so that believers will be sanctified and without blemish before Him. From the results of the interviews, information was obtained that there are still congregations who find it difficult to accept teachings about reconciliation, because they are still bound by the culture of their ancestors. This study uses qualitative descriptive methods[1]with literature review approaches, analysis studies, observations, surveys and interviews. From the results of the interview, information was obtained that not all congregations can live diligently and have full hope in God, because they are still influenced by the cultural customs of their ancestors. There is a possibility that God's servants have taught well through sermons, but there is no follow-up so there are still congregations who are not faithful to accompanying God. The background of God's servants among GKKB are different in terms of education, age, length of service, gender, Offices and places of ministry of course also vary the way and depth of material in teaching this atonement to the congregation. Therefore, the writer formulates the problem: 1) Which dimension is the most dominant in determining the level of confirmation of teaching about reconciliation based on Colossians 1:1-23 among the servants of the Christian Church of West Kalimantan? And 2) Which background is dominant in determining the level of confirmation of teaching about reconciliation based on Colossians 15:1-23 among the servants of the Christian Church of West Kalimantan? 1-23 among the servants of the Christian Church of West Kalimantan? And 2) Which background is dominant in determining the level of confirmation of teaching about reconciliation based on Colossians 15:1-23 among the servants of the Christian Church of West Kalimantan? 1-23 among the servants of the Christian Church of West Kalimantan? And 2) Which background is dominant in determining the level of confirmation of teaching about reconciliation based on Colossians 15:1-23 among the servants of the Christian Church of West Kalimantan?
