Abstract
The rapid development of digital culture and social change presents significant challenges to the faith formation of Christian adolescents, requiring Christian Religious Education to move beyond doctrinal instruction toward transformative faith development. This study aims to analyze the internalization of a gospel-centered life as a paradigm for Christian adolescent faith formation and to examine its contribution to the development of Christian Religious Education in the contemporary era. This research employed a qualitative library research approach by analyzing the Bible as the primary source alongside relevant theological and educational literature. The findings reveal that internalizing a gospel-centered life transforms doctrinal learning, strengthens Christian identity, cultivates authentic spirituality, and promotes the renewal of curriculum and instructional practices. This paradigm provides a Christ-centered, contextual, and holistic framework for developing mature faith and Christian character among adolescents in contemporary society.
