LESSON 02 : Consent, Natural Order
Course
Farah Javed
Explore the biblical, legal, and moral foundations of sovereignty and consent, learning how true freedom flows from God to individuals and only then to government through voluntary consent.
This micro-learning course, "Consent, Natural Order," guides believers through the essential principles of sovereignty as established by God and articulated in scripture and foundational law. Over 10 concise modules, you'll examine how true freedom and authority originate from God, not human institutions. The course unpacks the Natural Order—God above man, and man above government—and exposes how governments often reverse this hierarchy, seducing citizens into unlawful submission and spiritual idolatry. Through scriptural analysis, key legal precedents, and real-world examples, you'll discover how public education and legal trickery erode your understanding of sovereignty. You’ll learn how idolatry manifests in modern political systems, why believers are called to resist unauthorized authority, and how to assert rights lawfully. Practical lessons include jury nullification, lawful resistance, and the Christian’s duty to live as a citizen of Heaven first. The course empowers you to reclaim your spiritual and legal sovereignty, apply biblical principles in civic life, and defend your freedom as designed within the divine Natural Order.
