Authority in the Fulfilled Age
God is the authority—and now leads individuals directly through His Spirit, not institutions.
What is
Authority in the Fulfilled Age
TGNN teaches that in the fulfilled age, God alone holds spiritual authority. He now leads individuals directly through His Spirit—if they are willing to listen and follow.
Explanation
In the age of material religion, spiritual authority was mediated through priests, prophets, and institutions. But with the fulfillment of prophecy and the end of that system, TGNN teaches that God now relates to people directly, through His Spirit.This doesn’t mean there’s no authority—it means that God alone is the authority, and He no longer works through centralized human systems. No pastor, institution, or religious structure has rightful control over someone’s spiritual life.Instead, individuals are free to hear, trust, and follow God inwardly. If someone opens their heart and mind to the Spirit, God is fully able to guide, convict, and grow them in love and truth. This makes spiritual authority personal, relational, and responsive—not imposed or enforced.
