10 According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness (Psalm 48:10).
As God acts in sovereignty, He is righteous. God according to His nature is good. God cannot act any other way other than with righteousness. Therefore, God is the standard and measure to which we should base all of our decisions and knowledge. The righteousness of God is then the first principle to and the source of true knowledge. God is not subject to knowledge but rather knowledge is subject to God. We should then subject all knowledge to a simple test. The simple test is whether knowledge is contrary to God’s word. If any knowledge is contrary to God’s word, then the law of negation (negation of negation) mandates that this knowledge be rejected as false based on the argument that God’s word supersedes all other knowledge. The truth of God proceeds from His righteousness.
