Minor side point: scripture almost never uses the phrase “purposes” of God (plural). It uses “purpose”, singular. Eph. 1:11, 3:11 for example. Man has many purposes, but it appears that God has only one.
Which raises the question to any thinking believer - if God has ONE purpose, what is it?
And how important is it that we know what it is?
And how important is it that we align our own purpose for being here with that purpose?
**if God has ONE purpose, what is it?**
Amen to this and the other question you proposed.
