Every experience of God is an undeserved gift. Through the unreserved disclosure of our incapacity and our antagonism to God, we have allowed ourselves to be recognized by God. In the utterly undeserved love of His Son’s sacrifice we have recognized Him. We have experienced Jesus as the healing Savior of a life that was going completely to ruin. Through His death we have experienced forgiveness and redemption from the heaviest burden. Each renewed experience of God leads us more and more deeply to the awareness of the deathly bondage of all men in guilt and to thanksgiving for unmerited grace.

We must feel how, in their suffering and struggle, they too longed for redemption and liberation, for unity, for peace, for a golden age. They waited for a manifestation of God’s love and unity, for a breaking in of his justice among the nations.

When the vials of wrath are poured out over the world, when the need becomes unbearably intense, then a justice must be proclaimed and lived which is stronger than all the injustice of the world and which at the same time fulfills in love the punishing justice of judgment.

To the prophetic view, God appears as the guide and shepherd of all history. He guides men’s external destinies towards the one goal, which is the uniting of all nations in one fold. Man is received into the domain of God’s kingdom. The essence of this kingdom is the rulership of love.
