The law is God's commandment that shows His love and will. For this reason, the law becomes something that is important to be applied in the lives of God's people. However, it seems that there are contradictions regarding the law in Paul's letters both among theologians and people in general, giving rise to various interpretations. This diversity of interpretations raises questions about what the true essence of the law is that can still be relevant for God's people to apply today. Therefore, this article wants to describe the theological meaning of the law in Paul's writings that are relevant to the practical application of God's people today. This effort is carried out by the author by reviewing the background of some of Paul's letters which describe the law, so that he can further extract the theological values of the law contained therein. Through this, it can be understood that the law is practically relevant today by understanding that the law is all forms of feelings and actions that emanate from the heart to manifest love for God and others

The teachings of Jesus in the Gospels contain very many parables. These parables remain relevant in the context of today's life which is very complex in its aspects of life. Apart from that, the reading of parables is often read in an allegorical style that has been passed down by the church fathers and has been going on for a very long time. The church should have a new way of reading parable texts to get a more contextual meaning of the text today. This article tries to present an existentialist approach to reading the parables of Jesus, namely one of reading parable texts by understanding these parables as pure parables of that era. The writer argues that by reading Luke 18: 9-14 with an existentialist approach, the meaning of justification intended by Jesus in the text will be found clearly.
