How do we know that God's wisdom and power are true?

The wisdom and power of God are manifested primarily in creation, where the order and beauty of the universe reflect His sovereign design. John Newton emphasizes that instead of investigating the origins of creation through speculative wisdom, we should admire God's handiwork as a testament to His power. Scripture is integral in understanding His attributes, as it testifies to His creative word that brought forth all things from nothing. The acknowledgment of His justice and mercy, especially in the context of redemption, further evidences His supreme wisdom and authority in overcoming evil for the glorification of His name. Thus, we find assurance in the scriptures—through passages like Ephesians 1:20—that God’s wisdom is operational and ongoing throughout history.
