The blessings of salvation, temporal as well as spiritual, are for all mankind. There are many who complain of God because the world is so full of want and suffering; but God never meant that this misery should exist. He never meant that one man should have an abundance of the luxuries of life, while the children of others cry for bread. The Lord is a God of benevolence. He has made ample provision for the wants of all, and through His representatives, to whom He has entrusted His goods, He designs that the needs of all His creatures shall be supplied. {6T 273.3}

Frelsens velsignelser, timelige såvel som åndelige, er for alle mennesker. Der er mange, som klager over Gud, fordi verden er så fuld af savn og lidelse; men det var aldrig Guds mening, at elendighed skulle eksistere. Det var aldrig hans mening, at det ene menneske skulle have en overflod af livets luksus, medens andres børn råber efter brød. Herren er en godgørenhedens Gud. Han har gjort rigelige foranstaltninger for alles behov og gennem hans repræsentanter, som han har betroet sit gods, er det hans plan, at alle hans skabningers nød skal afhjælpes.
