God claims the whole earth as His vineyard. Though now in the hands of the usurper, it belongs to God. By redemption no less than by creation it is His. For the world Christ's sacrifice was made. "God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son." John 3:16. It is through that one gift that every other is imparted to men. Daily the whole world receives blessing from God. Every drop of rain, every ray of light shed on our unthankful 302 race, every leaf and flower and fruit, testifies to God's long forbearance and His great love.

Gud gør krav på hele verden som sin vingård. Selv om den nu er i Oprørerens hænder tilhører den Gud. Den tilhører ham, fordi han både er dens skaber og dens genløser Kristi store offer blev ydet for verdens skyld. "Thi således elskede Gud verden, at han gav sin Søn den enbårne." Det er i kraft af den ene gave, at menneskene får del i alle andre. Hele verden modtager daglig velsignelse fra Gud. Enhver regndråbe, enhver solstråle, der falder på vor utaknemmelige slægt, ethvert blad, enhver blomst og frugt vidner om Guds uendelige langmodighed og store kærlighed.
