ABSTRACT
Christians generally understand mission as an attempt to preach the gospel to people who do not yet believe in Jesus. If someone has accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior, then the mission to that person is considered complete. With this understanding, some Christians then possibly misrepresent Christianity, they are trapped by religious worship traditions and put aside the essence of self as the “image” and “likeness” of God. Using a qualitative descriptive method this study raises facts in the lives of Christians In Jakarta, Indonesia. Through this study’s results, Christians are expected to understand their essence as followers of Jesus. Changing the paradigm of Christianity and salvation is very important for transforming every Christian’s mission definition. In this millennial era, the church must focus on mature faith to teach the purpose of human life in the world and eternity..
