The world is perishing for want of the gospel. There is a famine for the word of God. There are few who preach the word unmixed with human tradition. Though men have the Bible in their hands, they do not receive the blessing that God has placed in it for them. The Lord calls upon His servants to carry His message to the people. 229 The word of everlasting life must be given to those who are perishing in their sins.

Verden går sin undergang i møde, fordi den mangler evangeliet. Der er en hunger efter Guds ord. Der er kun få, der forkynder ordet uden at iblande menneskers overleveringer Skønt menneskene står med Bibelen i hænderne, modtager de ikke de velsignelser som Gud har ladet nedskrive i den til dem. Herren opfordrer sine tjenere til at bære budskabet ud til folk. Det evige livs ord må gives til dem, der er ved at omkomme i deres synder.
