God’s purpose and plan in the Bible revolve around His desire to:
Reveal Himself as the Creator and Sovereign King over all.
Establish a covenant relationship with His people.
Bring salvation through His Son, Jesus Christ, to restore humanity’s broken relationship with God due to sin.
Establish His eternal Kingdom where His people dwell with Him forever.
Here is a detailed overview of God’s purpose and plan in the Bible, summarized by major people, prophecies, and events, divided into the Old Testament and New Testament. This overview also includes references to dispensational periods, which some interpret as distinct stages in God’s unfolding plan.
Different Christian denominations often approach Bible interpretation with distinct methods and emphases, shaped by their theological traditions, historical development, and doctrinal priorities. While many of their methods align with principles outlined in Scripture, the weight placed on various interpretive approaches (e.g., literal, allegorical, theological) can vary.
Applying the principles of biblical interpretation to your daily life and decision-making involves a combination of understanding God’s Word thoughtfully and living it out practically.
Christian denominations agree broadly that God’s purpose and plan revolve around the glorification of God, the redemption of humanity, and the restoration of creation, but there are significant variations in how specific traditions interpret these themes. These interpretations are shaped by theological frameworks, scriptural emphasis, and unique doctrinal viewpoints.
