God's purpose is affirmed through His Word and the testimonies of believers throughout history (Ephesians 1:11).
Understanding God's purpose is rooted in the revelation of Scripture, where His intentions for creation and humanity are declared. Ephesians 1:11 highlights that we have been predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will. This assurance is further confirmed through historical accounts of God's faithfulness and providence in the lives of His people. Even in adversity, the consistent witness of the faithful affirms that God's purposes are unfailing, revealing His overarching plan for redemption and restoration in Christ. Therefore, trust in His purpose is built on both Scripture and experience.
