How do we know that God's purpose is to save His people?
Answered in 1 source
God’s purpose to save His people is affirmed throughout Scripture, particularly in Zechariah 8:7-8, where He declares His intent to deliver and restore them.
The certainty of God's purpose is firmly established in His Word. In Zechariah 8:7-8, the Lord explicitly states, 'I will save My people.' This declaration encapsulates God's overarching intention throughout history, from creation to the last days. The New Testament further reveals that this purpose culminates in the person and work of Jesus Christ, who fulfills God's redemptive plan. God operates with intention and purpose, and His promises in Scripture assure us that He will accomplish the salvation of His people. As believers, we can take comfort knowing that our salvation is anchored in His eternal determination to save.
