The phrase “GOD, not government” emphasizes the belief that ultimate authority and moral guidance come from GOD rather than any human institutions. This perspective encourages individuals to prioritize their faith and divine principles over institutional authority.
Many believe that true authority and rights come from GOD and that liberty is a spiritual birthright, rooted in divine intention and that government should protect these GOD-given rights rather than grant them. Scripture highlights that freedom is a fundamental aspect of GOD’s will for humanity.
This perspective advocates for a balance between respecting any human authority and recognizing the ultimate sovereignty of GOD in matters of salvation, liberty and rights.
Scripture also serves as a prophetical foreshadowing-warning of a future global one-world government that will ultimately oppose GOD and demand worship and allegiance from all inhabitants of the earth.
