What does the Bible say about God's purpose in creation?

The sermon underscores that creation exists for the glory of God and serves the redemptive purpose of saving a people for His name. Colossians 1:16 states that all things were created by Him and for Him, indicating that the entire narrative of creation is tied to His redemptive plan. God’s sovereign creation leads to the unfolding of His plan to redeem a multitude through Christ, demonstrating that every aspect of existence has a purpose in His grand design. This informs the believer’s understanding of their role in glorifying God through their lives in light of His salvation.
