Rule-based religion is over. Faith and love—not law—define life with God now.
What is
Legalism
Legalism is the belief that spiritual approval depends on rule-keeping. TGNN teaches that in the fulfilled age, legalism is obsolete—replaced by faith, love, and spiritual liberty.
ExplanationLegalism reduces relationship with God to obedience to rules. It thrives in religious systems that demand conformity, punish deviation, and measure faith by performance. TGNN teaches that this mindset directly contradicts the freedom brought by Christ's fulfilled work.In the fulfilled age, all law—including religious law—has been completed. God no longer relates to people through commandments but through the Spirit. Legalism imposes external pressure; the Spirit inspires inward transformation.TGNN doesn’t promote lawlessness—it promotes love. When believers are led by the Spirit and grounded in agape love, they no longer need law to restrain or define them. Legalism is no longer necessary—and never truly worked.
