How do we know God's eternal purpose is true?

Answered in 7 sources

We know God's eternal purpose is true because Scripture consistently affirms that God works all things according to His will (Ephesians 1:11).

The truth of God's eternal purpose is anchored in His own revelation through Scripture. Ephesians 1:11 states that God works all things after the counsel of His own will, showcasing His sovereign authority over creation. Further affirmations of His purpose can be seen throughout biblical histories, such as the deliverance of Israel from bondage, which exemplifies God's predestined plans unfolding perfectly despite opposition. History, both biblical and contemporary, demonstrates that adversaries may rise to challenge God's purpose, but they ultimately cannot succeed; God's will is established and His promise to build His Church in Matthew 16:18 speaks to the unassailable nature of His purpose.
