Theological / Devotional

Hath he given. God created the earth to be the dwelling place of man (see Gen. 1:28; Isa. 45:18). “God made the world to enlarge heaven. He desired a larger family”. This same planet will be the final home of the redeemed. He has promised that the meek “shall inherit the earth” (Matt. 5:5).
