There are five biblical values that are likely to be discussed in this study. They are fairness, sacrificing, forgiveness, love, and purpose of life. The basis of these
values are based on the verses in the Bible.
2.1.3.1 Fairness
Fairness in the Bible can be seen in Galatians 6: 7-8. It says that you will harvest what you plant. It means that every thing we do in life has the cause and the
effect side. It is fair because the evil will go to hell and the good go to heaven. This verse teaches us that there is fairness in life.
Another verse that tells us about fairness is in Matthew 6:33. This verse states that if we focus on looking for the Kingdom of God first, then the other things will be
ours as well. It means that there will be always payment for what we have done. If we focus on God, then he promises us for more blessing. So, everything has its own time,
however, we cannot get something if we do not want use our effort to get that. The Bible also states that everything in this world has its turn. Life is fair,
sometimes fortune is in our side and sometimes it leaves us behind. There is a time for us to laugh and vice versa. There is a time for us to plant, and there is a time for us also
to harvest. Everything happens in its time. Ecclesiastes 3:1-11 says that God will make everything happen at the right time.
As the summary, the Bible tells us that life is fair. We will get what we want if we use our effort to get that and everything in this life happens in the right time. It is
fair because it has the cause and effect side whereas it will happen in its time as God wants it to happen.
2.1.3.2 Sacrificing
Sacrifice is the fact of giving up something valuable that we possess for a good purpose. There are many people thinking sacrifice something for other is considered as
heroes. However it is also written on the Bible that heroes sacrifice their most valuable things for good purpose.
In the Old Testament, it is described that once, there was a man almost killed his son as a sacrifice to please God, yet God replaces it with a sheep Genesis 22:1-14.
Because of that, Christians know him as the father of Faith, and we call him Abraham. Then there came a man who gave his position and wealth, also his position as
the prince of Egypt by bringing all his people out from Egypt, and led them to the land that was promised by God for them to live Exodus 12:31-40:34, yet we called him
Moses. Oftentimes, we fail to understand how great Gods love is. We easily question
His justice, when we get deprived of what we consider good things in life. Such is our attitude towards God, without realizing that He has already provided us with the best
gift in life - something that we are not capable of accomplishing for ourselves. He has given us righteousness, or purification from sin, through the sacrifice of His Only Son.
When John the Baptist asked Jesus Christ why He had to humble Himself as a man, our Lord responded: Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all
righteousness Matthew 3:15. If Jesus Christ is the Son of God, why did He have to die? Two apostles asked the same question on their way to Emmaus, days after Jesus
died near Jerusalem Luke 24:13-35. They were hoping that Jesus was the one who was going to redeem people of God until He died. Jesus, who had recently resurrected
from the dead, confronted them and said: Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and then enter His glory? Luke 24:26.
Why did Jesus Christ have to die for our sins? The law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and witho ut the shedding of blood there is no
forgiveness. Hebrews 9:22 God told Moses: For the life of the creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is
the blood that makes atonement for ones life. Leviticus 17:11 The blood of Christ, the perfect sacrifice, had to be shed for our atonement. Jesus Christ did not enter by
means of the blood of the goats and calves; but He entered the Most Holy Place once for all by His own blood, having obtained eternal redemption. Hebrews 9:12
For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your
forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in
these last times for your sake 1 Peter 1:18-20.
Unlike the Levite priests who had to offer sacrifices again and again, Jesus Christ is the only high priest who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners,
exalted above the heavens. Paul, the first Christian missionary, explained that unlike other high priests, He does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own
sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when He offered Himself. For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the
oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever. Hebrews 7:26-28
It was Gods will that Jesus Christ died on the cross for the redemption of PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
mankind from sin. Talking to the Father, Jesus Christ said: Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them
although the la w required them to be made. Here I am, I have come to do Your will Hebrews 10:8-9. Paul said that Jesus Christ came to set aside the first covenant to
establish the second. Christ is the mediator of the new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance- now that He has died as a ransom
to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant. Hebrews 9:15. And Christ did die for all of us. He died so we soul no longer live for ourselves, but for
the One who died and was raised to life for us 2 Corinthians 5: 15.
2.1.3.3 Forgiveness No one makes us angry. Anger is our own emotional response to some action
