Peran Pendidikan Agama Kristen dalam Menanamkan Etika Kristen Bagi Generasi Alpha dalam Bermedia Sosial

Abstrak

Abstract: Generation Alpha lives in a highly dynamic digital ecosystem and is highly dependent on social media, making them vulnerable to various moral issues such as cyberbullying, identity crises, and exposure to destructive content. Therefore, this study aims to examine the role of Christian Religious Education in instilling Christian ethics in Generation Alpha in their use of social media. Using qualitative methods with a literature study approach, this study analyzes biblical texts hermeneutically through logical arguments and integrates relevant theological literature and scientific studies. The results show that biblical values such as wisdom as a way of life (Col. 4:5), fearing and knowing God (Prov. 2:5), identity as salt and light of the world (Matthew 5:13-14), and living according to the fruit of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22–23) are relevant ethical frameworks for shaping the digital character of this generation. Thus, Christian Religious Education has a strategic role in shaping ethical digital behavior that reflects the character of Christ for Generation Alpha.
