The Lord our God is a God of purpose--
absolute and unalterable purpose.
God's purpose must and shall be accomplished.
Before the world was made, before time began;
God sovereignly purposed all that comes to pass.
Everything that is, has been, and shall hereafter
be was purposed by God from eternity.
Everything in the universe is moving toward the
predestined end of God's eternal purpose with
absolute precision and accuracy.
Everything that comes to pass in time was
purposed by God in eternity.
1.) The purpose of God is eternal.
2.) The purpose of God is unchanging.
3.) The purpose of God has for its particular
design the spiritual and eternal benefit
of God's elect. Everything God has purposed
is for the ultimate, spiritual, and eternal
blessedness of His covenant people.
4.) The purpose of God is immutable and sure.
That which comes to pass in time is exactly
what God had in mind from eternity.
5.) The purpose of God is that His Anointed,
the Messiah, be exalted and magnified as
King of Kings and Lord of Lords before
all creation !!
