Judgment is often viewed as a frightening and controversial concept in Christian life. However, when properly understood, judgment is a manifestation of God's justice and love. In Christian living, it is important to strike a balance between justice and love in judgment. Justice is necessary to uphold moral standards and maintain order, while love teaches forgiveness and compassion. By embracing both, Christians can create an environment that is fair yet understanding, while still adhering to the principles of faith.

Eschatological teaching in Christian theology will of course often intersect with the hope of Christ’s return. As written in the Book of Acts and other books in teh New Testament as Well as the entire Holy Bible. The return of Jesus Christ will not be an ordinary presensce. Just like His first coming in the incarnation of Jesus Christ. He came to the world to fulfill Gd’s promise in His work to save humans from sin. Likewise, the return of Christ will certainly present a very great work. Jesus Christ will come again no longer as a helper for sinners but as judge of the world. Therefore, it is not surprising why eschatological teachings are teachings that have significance in the Christian faith and also for axisting religions. So taht it gives meaning and hope for all sinful humans to immediately prepare themselves to welcome the return of Christ as judge of the world. However, the problem for everyone today is that no one knows when the day of Christ’s return will come. In fact, several verses in the Holy Bible say taht Jesus himself did not know, only the Father knew. This is a very serious problem in Christian theology. That is why all the time there have been theologians, clergy, academics, and so on trying to find answers to these problems.

So it will support the resolution of the problems discussed in this article.

Understanding the concept of Justification by Faith is crucial for Christians, as it enables them to gauge their comprehension and application of this doctrine in their lives. Many Christians have yet to fully grasp this foundational aspect of their faith. This study aims to elucidate the true significance of Justification by Faith by comparing the perspectives of Paul and James, which at first glance, seem contradictory. This research employs a literature review approach, involving the identification, classification, and analysis of relevant literature on the topic of Justification by Faith according to Paul, James, and Calvin. The study involves a hermeneutical analysis of biblical texts, a comparison of theological perspectives, and a systematic organization of findings. Paul asserts that justification occurs through faith, independent of works, as an act of God's grace (Romans 3:28, 4:5). The law reveals human sinfulness and the need for divine justification through faith in Christ. James emphasizes that genuine faith is demonstrated through works (James 2:24). He argues that faith without works is dead and insists on the necessity of works as evidence of true faith. Calvin integrates both perspectives, emphasizing that justification by faith is inseparable from the process of regeneration by the Holy Spirit. He views faith as a gift from God that leads to good works, the fruit of genuine faith. Justification by Faith is an act of God that can only be achieved through His grace and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ (Romans 4:5; 5:6). Faith is rooted in the truth of God's revelation in Christ, culminating in belief in His crucifixion and resurrection. Both Paul and James agree that faith and works are essential in a genuine response to God, with good works being the inevitable result of true faith. This study underscores the interconnectedness of faith and works, aligning with Martin Luther's assertion that good works are the fruit of righteousness. The comprehensive understanding of Justification by Faith involves recognizing it as a divine act that provides hope for salvation through faith, a gift from God facilitated by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 2:8; Galatians 5:22).

Obesity, characterised by excessive or abnormal fat accumulation, poses significant health risks. The prevalence of obesity in Indonesia's adult population increased from 14.8% in 2013 to 21.8% in 2018, with central obesity rising from 26.6% to 31%. Contributing factors include genetics, lifestyle, psychological stress, and socioeconomic status. Although the Body Mass Index (BMI) is a standard measurement for assessing obesity, BMI does not accurately reflect the composition or distribution of body fat. Therefore, additional anthropometric measurements such as waist and hip circumference are essential. This activity uses the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Action) methodology to screen for obesity in adults at Kalam Kudus Middle School, West Jakarta. Of the 129 participants, 26 people (20.16%) were overweight and 35 people (27.14%) were obese. Waist circumference indicated central obesity in 61 women (47.29%) and 19 men (14.73%). Hip circumference showed that 9 men and women (6.98%) had a high risk of metabolic disease. Anthropometric measurements provide important insights into obesity and its health implications, emphasising the need for regular screening and lifestyle modification.

The second coming of Christ is an event inalienable to mankind. In addition to declaring punishment for unbelievers, His second coming also fulfills the presence of a new heaven and earth in which the righteous will reign with Christ forever. Of this, the Bible records that "the heavens shall vanish with a great rumbling, and the elements of the world shall burn in the flames, and the earth and all that is therein shall pass away." But on the other hand, the view of restoration clearly teaches that the old heavens and the earth will not be totally destroyed, but renewed. Thus the problem arises: how could both of these things - the biblical concept of the new earth and the doctrine of restoration - be a harmonious truth? This paper seeks to explain and discuss the problematic teaching of the restoration in relation to the concept of the new earth. Through this paper the author hopes to elaborate the problematic of this topic clearly, especially regarding the alleged contradictions that exist. In addition, critical analysis is conducted to produce responsible solutions that contribute significantly to the study of eschatology, in which the authors believe that the teaching of restoration and the concept of the new earth is a harmonious and biblical truth.

Talking about the second coming of the Lord Jesus (eschatology) is one of the foundations of the Christian faith, so this needs to be known, taught and believed by every person of God. However, because there are many interpretations regarding the second coming of the Lord Jesus, correct and appropriate study is needed according to God's word.  Lack of understanding regarding the second coming of the Lord Jesus can lead to distorted interpretations that even contradict the truth of God's word itself. There are quite a few errors in the interpretation of the second coming of the Lord Jesus. On the contrary, it causes anxiety, fear, doubt, confusion, and even misdirection. This means that it is very important for us to know more about eschatology, to provide a better and correct understanding in waiting for the second coming of the Lord Jesus. At that time, if we have understood it in a paradigm shift that previously had a frightening perspective, but on the contrary, we are waiting for it with full confidence, a higher level of faith in God and even waiting for it with joy, because He is the one who picks up His people, He is the one who all this time in the world we worship, and also only to Him can we immortalize ourselves completely. Death is human nature and the end of human existence in life. Death is indeed the end of human existence, but humans as physical and spiritual creatures are not completely eliminated by death. The soul/spirit as the spiritual element of humans does not disappear along with the body. The soul is the identity of each human person who reveals the history of his life to God. The human soul will later become a means for God in the process of resurrecting humans. Death is not only something that ends human existence in life, but is also a time when humans perfect/complete the history of their life freely. A life history that shows identity, character, personality, and all the stories that have been experienced that show who he is authentically and finally, without being able to change again. The term human being as both a physical and spiritual creature indicates the unity of the two substances or elements that make up a human being, namely body and soul. This unity, apart from showing the integrity and equality of God's creations, also shows the specialness of humans from other creations. The unity between body and soul as the element that makes humans exist is able to explain the event of the resurrection of the dead which is believed by Christians.

How Christian teachings teach human responsibility to protect and care for the environment, by citing biblical teachings that support sustainable social justice. This can also include efforts by churches and Christian communities to promote ecological practices and promote some of their missions. In the context of Christian teachings, it is important to explain that the concept of environmental responsibility comes from the belief that God created the universe and empowered humans to protect it (Genesis 2:15). This encourages Christians to take responsibility for their actions towards nature and living creatures. Many Christian denominations emphasize the importance of preserving the environment as part of their moral and ethical obligations. They view environmental destruction as a violation of God's obligation to protect the earth. Awareness of the importance of the environment is a process that must be initiated for the survival of future generations, so that it is not affected by irresponsible human behavior today. The aim of environmental education is to introduce different values and clarify concepts in order to develop the attitudes and skills needed to understand and appreciate the interrelationships of humans, culture and the biophysical environment. The aim of this research is to dig deeper into the development of environmental awareness in Christian education.

 This research identifies and analyzes various sources and references for one's critical understanding in increasing one's narrow understanding in understanding the signs of the times. Christians' understanding of the end times always refers to a number of signs which are considered to indicate that the end times are approaching. In general, in the Christian view, the end times will begin with the second coming of Jesus accompanied by the destruction of the world and God's judgment on humans. a number of signs that will occur before the end of time. For example, in Matthew 24, Jesus speaks of war, famine, earthquakes, and apostasy as signs of the end times.

This article deals with our plural and global society of today which impede the validity of ethical values. In this sense, the values of Christian ethics are needed to approach contemporary social issue. We must respond to the current situation of humanity by using library resources and observations of ethical issue in our society and how they can develop their normative effects under the conditions of freedom, plurality, demographic and digital change, as well as the complex economic and financial systems and, last but not least, under the fragile approval of the institutions of international politics. The argument then moves to the meta-theory of Christian ethics, namely the revelation of God as it is expressed in the ‘book of nature’, the written word, and the incarnate Word, Jesus Christ. The article concludes that as long as the values of Christian ethics remains faithful to this meta-theory, understands the modern macro-ethical questions and maintains a deep social focus, it will remain relevant in a plural and global society.

Abstract: Obesity is a global epidemic and a significant public health problem. In the elderly population, obesity is defined as a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m². In the United States, the prevalence of obesity among the elderly is 37.1% in men and 33.6% in women over the age of 60. Obesity increases the risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease, and can cause psychological problems such as sleep disorders and lack of self-confidence. Accurate obesity risk assessment involves measuring Body Mass Index (BMI) and waist circumference. This activity uses the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) methodology to screen for obesity in the elderly at Hana Nursing Home, South Tangerang. The screening includes anthropometric measurements of BMI and waist circumference, followed by evaluation and nutritional counseling for at-risk individuals. 9 people (14.75%) had overweight nutritional status, 3 people (4.92%) had obese nutritional status, and 35 people (57.38%) were at risk of central obesity. Routine anthropometric measurements are critical for monitoring obesity and implementing preventive measures to improve overall health outcomes, improve quality of life, and reduce obesity-related morbidity and mortality rates. Keywords: Obesity, Central Obesity, Elderly, Body Mass Index, Waist Circumference

The dialectics and discourse about whistleblowers in Indonesia are not active when discussing and studying the concept of justice collaborators against a large-scale crime. The glory of the whistleblower concept is not as detailed as the setting of Justice Collaborators. So, information about what and how the whistleblower mechanisms work is still covered by the black cloud in order to uncover large-scale crimes. The purpose of writing this article is to know and analyse the legal protection system against a whistleblower reporting a crime. The research method used is a normative juridical research method using conceptual approaches, legal approaches, and comparative approaches to the United States. The result of this study is that a person identified as a whistleblower, if referring to settings and comparisons, will still raise doubts caused by the uncertainty of benefits and protection for himself and his family. The conclusion of this study is that the legal protection and protection of future guarantees for someone who has been designated as a whistleblower are still very minimal. Thus, the disclosure of a large-scale criminal case becomes very difficult and focuses only on the interests of justice collaborators.   Keywords: evidence; legal protection; whistleblower
