9:28 It is for the sake of informing you the extent of My profound intent, for it is My single desire to save all My children in this world.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 146

二八、この世の一列の子供を救けたい一条で、深い親神の真意の程を知らせかけるでのある。

Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2010)

From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 38:44

In the original, the way in which the verse is constructed is somewhat complicated. With regard to the verbs “make...known” (“shirashi”) and “save” (“tasuke”), their respective objects (“shinjitsu” [”the truth”] and “kono yo” [“this world”]) are not where they are grammatically expected.

The verse is saying, “Since I desire to save all human beings in the world, I shall begin to tell everyone the truth.” This expresses God’s desire to save all people by letting them know the truth.
