Weekly Bible Study God’s Ultimate Purpose Part I

This week we will examine the question of god's purpose for the creation, and mankind especially. “Did God create the universe and mankind for the purpose of glorifying Himself? Or was it for love? or was there some other purpose?” And furthermore, what exactly is glory? What exactly is love? And can we better comprehend the purpose of the creation, in hopes of having a better relationship with our Creator, and of being a better witness for Him.

We'll do our best to define glory, look at the concept of glory in the historical narrative of the creation week, the first mention of glory in the scripture, how glory relates to men, how glory relates to the relationship between god and man, Moses choice between law and grace, and Moses' sarcastic reference to glory in Exodus.
