Penerapan Nilai-Nilai Firman Dalam Kehidupan Orang Muda Di Tengah Pengaruh Budaya Digital

Abstract

The development of digital culture has brought significant changes to the lives of young people, particularly in communication patterns, learning, and social interaction. While technology provides easy access to information and communication, excessive use of social media also leads to negative impacts such as depression, addiction, insomnia, and decreased academic performance. In this context, biblical values become essential as a foundation for shaping character and maintaining the faith of young people amid digital influences. This study employs a qualitative method with a literature review approach, collecting data from books, journals, and relevant scientific articles, which are then analyzed descriptively to gain a deeper understanding. The results show that Romans 12 contains important values relevant to the lives of young people in the digital era, including not conforming to the world, self-control, sincere love, and living in goodness. The application of these values helps young people use digital media wisely, avoid negative influences, and build strong character and faith. In addition, environmental factors such as family, peers, and schools play an important role in supporting the implementation of these values. In conclusion, biblical values based on Romans 12 can serve as a strong foundation for young people in facing the challenges of digital culture. Technology does not replace spirituality but can support spiritual growth when used wisely and with discipline, enabling young people to live rightly, responsibly, and remain rooted in their faith in the digital era.
