All Things Belong to GodAll the good that man enjoys comes because of the mercy of God. He is the great and bountiful Giver. His love is manifest to all in the abundant provision made for man. He has given us probationary time in which to form characters for the courts above. And it is not because He needs anything that He asks us to reserve a part of our possessions for Him. {6T 385.2}

Alt tilhører Gud
Alt det gode, som mennesket kan glæde sig over, skyldes Guds barmhjertighed. Han er den store og gavmilde giver. Han har åbenbaret sin kærlighed for alle ved den måde, hvorpå han så rigeligt sørger for menneskene. Han har givet os en prøvetid, for at vi skal danne en karakter, så vi kan få adgang til boligerne i himmelen. Når han (386) anmoder os om at give ham en del af vore midler, skyldes det ikke, at han trænger til noget.
