If God has given man a means of discovering and implementing divine law, then the true and just legal system must be based on this revealed law. [Carl F.H.] Henry says, "One reason law has lost its power in modern life is the failure to recognize divine law as the fundamental law." Without divine law, the individual has not standard for judging any legal system imposed upon him. "If a man cannot know, according to a higher law, what is just or right in a given situation," says [John W.] Whitehead, "he cannot protest and criticize legitimately any particular course of action as unjust."
