https://doi.org/10.62042/jtp.v7i2.125Salib Kristus dalam Galatia 6:14 menampilkan puncak argumentasi Paulus yang bersifat kosmik, di mana dunia lama yang ditandai oleh dosa, hukum, dan daging diputuskan relasinya, dan identitas baru dibangun dalam Kristus. Kajian terdahulu banyak menekankan aspek sosial-historis, retoris, pastoral, dan resepsi, namun belum secara khusus menyoroti fungsi salib sebagai pusat kosmik dalam surat Galatia, sehingga terjadi kesenjangan interpretatif terkait dimensi transformasional teks ini. Penelitian ini menawarkan pendekatan eksegesis leksikal-teologis yang menempatkan Galatia 6:14 sebagai locus teologis, menyingkap mekanisme dekonstruksi kosmos lama dan konstruksi identitas baru melalui analisis kata kunci, sintaksis, dan konteks historis-komunitarian. Metode penelitian dilakukan secara deskriptif-analitis, dengan pembacaan kritis teks Yunani NA28, analisis semantik, serta penafsiran teologis dalam kerangka argumentasi surat Galatia itu sendiri. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa salib berfungsi sebagai poros yang mengubah orientasi identitas dan praktik komunitas, menata ulang nilai dan status, serta menyediakan dasar etis dan epistemik bagi kehidupan jemaat. Jadi dapat disimpulkan bahwa surat Galatia 6:14 bukan sekadar penutup retoris, tetapi pusat teologis yang menghubungkan transformasi kosmik, identitas baru, dan tanggung jawab etis-komunitarian, sehingga menawarkan relevansi praktis dan konseptual bagi pemahaman iman Kristen kontemporer.
