| The Purposes of God |
| Seven Aspects of God’s Eternal Purpose — Part 1 |
| 1. That the Father of glory should have children. |
| “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God” (Romans 8:16). |
| “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:26). |
| 2. That Christ should have a bride. |
| “And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband … And there came unto me one of the seven angels … and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife” (Revelation 21:2,9). |
| 3. That God’s light and love should be manifested. |
| “God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all” (1 John 1:5). |
| “God is love” (1 John 4:8). |
| 4. That God should be glorified in Christ. |
| “These words spake Jesus … I have glorified Thee on the earth: I have finished the work which Thou gavest Me to do” (John 17:1, 4). |
