Dari Qesheth ke Salib: Rekonstruksi Soteriologis Perjanjian Nuh melalui Analisis Eksegetis-Historis terhadap Keadilan, Kasih, dan Penebusan
Keywords:
Keadilan Allah, Kasih Allah, Penebusan, Perjanjian Nuh, QeshethAbstract
Penelitian ini bertujuan merekonstruksi signifikansi soteriologis Perjanjian Nuh dalam Kejadian 9:8–17 melalui hubungan antara qesheth, keadilan, kasih, dan penebusan dalam Kristus. Penelitian menggunakan desain kualitatif dengan pendekatan eksegetis-historis, melalui analisis tekstual terhadap Kejadian 9:8–17, studi terminologis, kajian kanonik, serta penelusuran historis terhadap perkembangan pemikiran pendamaian dalam tradisi Kristen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Perjanjian Nuh merupakan komitmen pemeliharaan kosmis Allah yang menjamin keberlanjutan ciptaan dan sejarah manusia di tengah realitas dosa, sedangkan qesheth berfungsi sebagai tanda konkret komitmen tersebut. Perjanjian ini bukan penyelesaian soteriologis final, tetapi menyediakan fondasi teologis bagi kesinambungan menuju penebusan. Analisis juga menunjukkan bahwa qesheth harus dipahami terlebih dahulu berdasarkan fungsi tekstualnya sebelum dikembangkan secara tipologis menuju salib. Dengan demikian, salib Kristus memberikan artikulasi soteriologis yang lebih penuh terhadap ketegangan antara keadilan dan kasih Allah, sekaligus memperlihatkan kesinambungan karya Allah dari pemeliharaan ciptaan menuju rekonsiliasi dan penebusan.
