Abstract
The number of theologies that breathe success appears among God's servants throughout Jember district, which are alleged to have deviated from the biblical Christian life. This encourages this research to be carried out. The aim is to find out how much the level of application, dimensions and background categories that tend to influence the implementation of Christian life based on Luke 16: 19-31 among the servants of God in Jember Regency, East Java. The method used is the quantitative method in the form of explanatory-confirmatory studies of the text of Luke 16: 19-31 and literature studies related to the topic of Christian life as well as examining moderate variables in the form of categories of the background of the object of research. As a result, first, the level of implementation of Christian life based on Luke 16: 19-31 among God's servants throughout Jember district is in the "medium" category (not yet optimal). This is because God's servants in Jember district have been influenced by a theology characterized by success that has distorted the Christian life. Second, the dimensions of the outer and inner life of God's servants who live simply, are the most significant moral and spiritual forces that influence the application of the Christian life based on Luke 16: 19-31.Third, ethnic backgrounds are more dominant in determining the implementation of biblical Christian life, including occupation and age, this is because the majority of God's servants in Jember Regency are Javanese (46.7%) who have long served there, which by themselves can adapt to Javanese people who live simply so they are able to live a Christian life according to the Gospel of Luke 16: 19-31.
