Theonomy is a theological belief that emphasizes the application of God's law as revealed in the Bible to all areas of life, including politics and society. Proponents argue that civil laws should reflect biblical principles, asserting that God's moral standards are universal and should guide human governance. Supporters of theonomy often reference the Old Testament laws, suggesting that these laws are still relevant today. They believe that a society governed by divine law will lead to justice and righteousness, contrasting with secular legal systems that may not align with biblical teachings.
