Therefore, this research is a quantitative research which is an explanatory-confirmatory study, meaning this study also examines the part of the Moderator Variable (Moderate), which is a variable that aims to deepen research findings through analysis of various background categories of the research object. For this reason, this study examines in depth the Independent Variables (X) or Exegenous Variables concerning Christian Life Based on the Text of the Gospel of Luke 16:19-31 About the Parable of the Rich and Lazarus by conducting exegesis and theological explanations to find research dimensions or indicators. There are four dimensions found, namely: First, "The Secular Life of the Rich" (D1). Second, "The Spiritual Life of the Rich" (D2). Third, "The Secular Life of the Poor" (D3). Fourth, "The Spiritual Life of the Poor" (D4). Then, the background categories of the research object consisted of Gender (L13), Age (L14), Status (L15), Education (L16), Tribe (L17), Church of Origin (L18) and Occupation (L19). The research sample was 120 people using the Non-Random Sampling Technique where not all of God's servants were taken as samples, but only those who represented them due to limited time, distance and research funds. After going through the validation phase and testing or calibrating the instruments, the remaining 55 instruments were declared valid and reliable to be used as research instruments. Research Hypothesis The research hypotheses proposed in this scientific paper are: First, the Christian life level based on the Gospel of Luke 16:19-31 among God's servants in Jember, East Java is in the "Medium" category. Second, the Secular Dimension of the Rich (D1) which dominantly determines the implementation of Christian life based on the Gospel of Luke 16:19-31 among God's servants in Jember, East Java. Third, the Category of the Background of the Origin Church (L18), which determine the implementation of Christian life based on the Gospel of Luke 16: 19-31 among the servants of God in Jember, East Java. Research Results and Conclusions The results shows, First, the level of Christian life based on the Gospel of Luke 16:19-31 among the servants of God in Jember, East Java is in the "Medium" category. Therefore, the first hypothesis is stated to be accepted or proven. Second, the Secular Dimension of the Poor (D3) which is more dominant in determining the implementation of Christian life based on the Gospel of Luke 16:19-31 among God's servants in Jember, East Java, which is 58.2%. Thus the second hypothesis is declared rejected or not proven. Third, the category of ethnic background (L17) which is around 46.7% (servants of God from Javanese ethnic background) prefers the implementation of Christian life based on the Gospel of Luke 16:19-31 among God's servants in Jember, East Java. Thus the third hypothesis is also declared rejected or not proven. Implications The conclusion is, first, based on the research results, the level of Christian life based on the Gospel of Luke 16:19-31 among God's servants in Jember, East Java belongs to the "medium" category. It indicates that the Christian life of God’s servants in the Jember, East Java needs to be improved or optimized. Second, the Secular Life Dimensions of the Poor (D3) are more dominant in determining the level of Christian life based on the Gospel of Luke 16: 19-31. This indicates that a simple secular life is not a weakness, but instead becomes a source of strength that is able to make the most significant contribution to the improvement of the application of Christian life based on Luke 16: 19-31. This means that God's servants who serve in various remote areas, especially in the rural areas of Jember, have so far proven their loyalty in responding to God's call, even though their secular life is humble.As an implication, the servants of God in Jember, East Java need to be given appreciation and attention and motivated to maintain and live a simple Christian life as an inner or spiritual strength capable of improving the quality of Christian life based on Luke 16:19-31. Third, the Category of Ethnic Background (17) determines the implementation of Christian life based on the Gospel of Luke 16: 19-31. This is based on the fact that 46.7% of God's servants in Jember are from Javanese tribe who are able to adapt to Javanese society who live humbly so that they are able to implement Christian life based on the Gospel of Luke 16: 19-31. This implies, the servants of God who are from Javanese tribe really need information and motivation to remain faithful in serving and teaching healthy Bible doctrines so that they are not easily influenced by unbiblical teachings or theologies.
