The Lord has imparted to us heaven’s richest treasure in giving us Jesus. With Him He has given us all things richly to enjoy. The productions of the earth, the bountiful harvests, the treasures of gold and silver, are His gifts. Houses and lands, food and clothing, He has placed in the possession of men. He asks us to acknowledge Him as the Giver of all things; and for this reason He says, Of all your possessions I reserve a tenth for Myself, besides gifts and offerings, which are to be brought into My storehouse. {FLB 244.2}

Herren har tildelt os himmelens rigeste rigdomme, ved at give os Jesus. Med Ham har Han givet alt i rigt mål som vi kan nyde. Jordens afgrøder, den givende høst, rigdommene af guld og sølv er Hans gaver. Huse og lande, mad og klæder, har han givet mennesker i besiddelse. Han beder os om at anerkende ham som alle tings Giver; og af den grund siger han: Af alle jeres ejendomme reserverer jeg en tidendedel til Mig selv, udover gaver og ofre, som skal bringes i Mit skattekammer.
