The sovereign in any system of thought and life

is the source of law and of justice...The state, therefore, which rejects the sovereignty of the triune God of Scripture and which denies the validity and sway of His law-word, will become, not a means of justice, but a source of injustice. To the degree that it forsakes God, to that degree it will manifest injustice. It will be evil, not good, and its pretended justice and its man-made laws will be evil, not good....nor can a fallen world do other than pollute and destroy these things as it develops the implications of sin.
