Doktrin Allah Sebagai Salah Satu Pokok Utama Dalam Teologi Sistematika

The Doctrine of God as a Core Subject in Systematic Theology

Abstract

The doctrine of God serves as a core subject in systematic theology, forming the foundation for understanding the Christian faithspecifically regarding God’s existence, nature, attributes, and works. This study aims to analyze the doctrine of God systematically and explain its relevance to the lives of believers today. Employing a qualitative approach, the research utilizes a literature review method, drawing upon the Bible, systematic theology texts, and relevant scholarly articles. Data were collected through documentation analysis and subsequently examined using qualitative content analysis, theological interpretation, and conceptual synthesis. The findings indicate that the doctrine of God encompasses an understanding of God as a singular, living, and sovereign Person the Creator and Sustainer of all creation. God’s attributes including eternity, omnipotence, omniscience, holiness, justice, love, and faithfulness manifest the perfection of His character. The doctrine of the Trinity affirms the oneness of God in three persons the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit who act in unity. This understanding carries practical implications for the development of character, integrity, social concern, justice, and the responsibilities of believers. The study concludes that the doctrine of God is not merely theological knowledge, but rather the foundation for a lived life of faith. Its contribution lies in providing a conceptual framework for students of Christian Religious Education to integrate theological study with the daily practice of the Christian life.
