The life of a believer is a process that continues until the end of his life. Because believe in the Lord Jesus, everyone faces a process to live a more beautiful life in Christ. Living like Jesus is the ultimate goal for every believer. But many are faound in the lives of believers, their lives are not optimal in following Jesus. Even though they have been to church for a long time and have even served, many Christians when facing life’s challenges, struggles, problems and suffering, are quicker to grumble and leave the Lord Jesus. This ia a sign of the spiritual immaturity of the believer. Not because believres do not understand, but not serious in following Jesus. In order to obtain accurate and accountable data, in this study the authors used the method of writing is Frist, to provide an understanding to every believer that perseverance is one the characteristics of spiritual maturity; Second, perseverance will make every believer experience a strong spiritual life process; Third, today’s beliavers can be witnesses for everyone who is facing life’s challenges. Kehidupan orang percaya merupakan proses yang terus berjalan sampai akhir hidupnya. Sebab percaya Tuhan Yesus, setiap orang menghadapi proses untuk hidup makin indah dalam Kristus. Hidup menjadi serupa dengan Yesus adalah tujuan utama bagi setiap orang percaya. Namun banyak ditemukan dalam kehidupan orang percaya, hidupnya tidak maksimal dalam mengikuti Yesus. Meskipun sudah lama ke gereja bahkan sudah melayani, namun banyak orang Kristen ketika menghadapi tantangan hidup, pergumulan, persoalan dan menderita, lebih cepat bersunggut-sungut dan meninggalkan Tuhan Yesus. Ini adalah sebuah tanda ketidakdewasaan rohani orang percaya. Bukan karena orang percaya tidak memahami, namun ketidakseriusan dalam mengikut Yesus. Untuk mendapatkan data-data yang akurat dan dapat dipertanggungjawabkan, dalam penelitian ini penulis menggunakan metode penulisan deskriptif literatur. Tujuan penulisan ini adalah Pertama, memberikan pemahaman kepada setiap orang percaya bahwa ketekunan adalah salah satu ciri kedewasaan rohanit; Kedua, ketekunan akan membuat setiap orang percaya mengalami proses hidup rohani yang kuat; Ketiga, orang percaya masa kini bisa menjadi saksi bagi setiap orang yang sedang menghadapi tantangan hidup.

Many feel Karl Barth has had his day, Father Starkloff disagrees. He feels a careful study of Barth's theory of religion, within the context of the search for “cultural sensitivity,” can be very rewarding. For it is Barth who reminds us that the central driving force of man's religious life is self-affirmation and self-insurance. Although a solid grasp of the phenomenology of religion is “essential to the training of all missionaries in order to overcome ‘adversaries' and for its positive input into the spiritual life,” the basic issue remains unchanged — the essence of God's unique and once-for-all disclosure and giving of himself to man in Christ.

Rowan Williams’s ecclesiology is shaped by his account of the spiritual life. He examines the transformation of human beings’ relationships to one another, driven by their encounter with God’s utterly gracious love in Jesus Christ. The church is the community of forgiven people generated by Christ’s resurrection. It is animated by its constant exposure to God’s love in Christ in word and sacrament. It is held to that exposure by its doctrinal discipline. It is a community in which members go on learning from one another how to go more deeply into that exposure. For Williams, the church’s commitment to unity and its commitment to truth go together: truth cannot be discovered without holding together in unity to learn from one another; and proper ecclesial unity is unity in this search for truth.

John Stuart Mill observed in his Autobiography that he was a rare case in nineteenth-century Britain because he had not lost his religion but never had any. He was a freethinker from beginning to end. What is not often realized, however, is that Mill’s life was nevertheless impinged upon by religion at every turn. This is true both of the close relationships that shaped him and of his own thoughts. Mill was a religious sceptic, but not the kind of person which that term usually conjures up. The unexpected prominence of spirituality is not only there in Mill’s late, startling essay, ‘Theism’, in which he makes the case for hope in God and in Christ. It is everywhere—in his immediate family, his best friends, and his vision for the future. It is even there in such a seemingly unlikely place as his Logic, which repeatedly addresses religious themes. John Stuart Mill: A Secular Life is a full biography which follows one of Britain’s most well-respected intellectuals through all of the key moments in his life from falling in love to sitting in Parliament and beyond. It also explores his classic works including, On Liberty, Principles of Political Economy, Utilitarianism, and The Subjection of Women. In this well-researched study which offers original findings and insights, you will encounter the Mill you never knew; the Mill that even some of his closest disciples never knew. This is John Stuart Mill, the Saint of Rationalism—a secular life and a spiritual life.

Abstract The scriptural interpretation that pervades First Corinthians initiates a process of education and formation among the addressees: They must learn to employ Scripture as a standard for shaping their existence “in Christ.” In this regard, discussions over the meaning of Paul’s letter within the heterogeneous congregation are significant. Such discussions are stimulated through 1Cor 2:6–16 and 14:20–25, passages that lead the readers to a “mature” judgement concerning the gifts of God’s spirit as well as appropriate behaviour. To that end, they appeal to Scripture in a twofold way: First, an explicit citation substantiates Paul’s position in his debate with the Corinthians; second, an oblique reference – which, as soon as it is detected, helps to resolve the ambiguities in his reasoning – brings about agreement between him and those believers who are more familiar with Scripture. Apparently, only sufficient competence in interpreting and applying Scripture paves the way towards spiritual “maturity.”

The Hebrews were written to strengthen their faith in Christ by carefully explaining the superiority and firmness of God's revelation and redemption in Jesus Christ. He showed that the provision of redemption under the old covenant had been fulfilled and was no longer used because Jesus had come and established a new covenant by His death-working peace. The author also calls on all believers to maintain recognition of Christ so that at the end, the author then advises him to move forward toward spiritual maturity, and to not return to life under penalty by renouncing trust in Jesus Christ. In this study of Hebrews 11: 1-3, the writer provides understanding and understanding, as well as giving advice that faith is the basis for every believer, as well as a certain hope for Jesus Christ. As a result of the church's lack of understanding of the meaning of faith, many apostate congregations who abandoned their faith, beliefs, and perseverance before God disappeared. besides that most of the congregation have experienced the decline of faith. Therefore believers need to understand the text of God's Word from Hebrews 11: 1-3 in every step of life.

Abstract Many Christians never deal with God, but only deal with religion, church, and pastors. Although many Christians still feel they have dealt with God, thus making them Christians who do not experience God personally, and certainly do not experience the discipleship process. Through descriptive qualitative methods, it can be concluded that Christians should have the character of Christ according to the title Christian first appeared in Antioch which was assigned to students who learned the Gospel from Paul Barnabas for being followers of Jesus Christ. People who are in Christ must wear passion, spirit, and desire as Jesus wore so that the behavior of believers who call Christians behave like Christ. This must continue to be fought for because it cannot happen automatically, it takes a high and serious and consistent effort for a long time until the end to be found to be in Christ.   Abstrak Banyak orang Kristen tidak pernah berurusan dengan Tuhan, tetapi hanya berurusan dengan agama, gereja, dan pendeta. Walaupun banyak orang Kristen tetap merasa sudah berurusan dengan Tuhan, sehingga menjadikannya orang Kristen yang tidak mengalami Tuhan secara pribadi, dan tentu tidak mengalami proses pemuridan. Melalui metode kualitatif deskritif dapat disimpulkan bahwa orang Kristen sudah seharusnya berkarakter Kristus sesuai sebutan Kristen pertama kali muncul di Antiokhia yang disematkan kepada murid-murid yang belajar Injil dari Paulus Barnabas karena menjadi pengikut Yesus Kristus. Orang yang ada di dalam Kristus haruslah mengenakan gairah, spirit, dan hasrat seperti yang Yesus kenakan agar perilaku orang percaya yang menyebut Kristen perilakunya seperti Kristus. Hal ini harus terus diperjuangkan karena tidak dapat terjadi secara otomatis, diperlukan usaha yang tinggi dan serius serta konsisten dalam waktu yang panjang sampai akhir agar didapati berkeadaan ada di dalam Kristus.

The article discusses the influence of the way of the monastic dress code on helping nuns and monks stay on their spiritual path during formation. The Focus of the study are the rules for nuns and monks developed in the 6th and 7th centuries in Gaul and Spain. The authors of the rules were convinced that the very strict requirements regarding the clothing, as well as the behavior, of consecrated per­sons, serve the practice of seeking virtue through poverty, obedience and humility. It was required that all the inhabitants of a monastery should wear simple habits with natural colors that no one could consider to be their property. Attention was also paid to the asceticism of sight and the way of walking, which served to pre­serve the virtue of purity. For the same reason, one was not allowed to take too many baths, except in the case of disease. The whole life of the celibate nuns and monks should be focused on the caring for the development of their spiritual life, and not on the pursuit of external appearance. The humble acceptance of poor attire, temperance in care for the body, and the ability to exercise self-control his eyesight, testified to the spiritual maturity of the nun and the monk.

This article presents a very important topic that aims at the balance of the spiritual life, namely asceticism. Asceticism is the state developed by the divine energies that sustain man's spiritual progress. A believer, the more he practices on the path of doing good, the better and more virtuous he will become. The more he seeks to eliminate sin from his being, the purer and godlier he will become. This exercise is called in spiritual language: asceticism. Man is a reality of divine harmony, but we must keep in mind that this gracious presence cannot be expressed conceptually because it belongs to a transcendental, metaphysical reality. Therefore, Christian asceticism refers to the acquisition and perfection of life in Christ. In this endeavor man is not left alone. God's grace helps him to achieve the state of holiness, of perfection

AbstractReligious identities in ancient Near Eastern Christianity were mainly and primarily defined along the lines of Christological positions held by the different Christian communities. This article discusses the origin, development, and propagation of the East Syrian 'Nestorian' Christology of the two natures and two hypostaseis in Christ. It is argued that the process of the formation of the East Syrian Christological identity took a relative long time due to the complex and pluriform cultural tradition in East Syrian Christianity by the end of the sixth century and the radically changing historical, political, and social conditions in late sixth- and early seventh-century Iraq.
