How does God's eternal purpose unfold in our lives?

The unfolding of God's eternal purpose is evident in the way Divine Providence orchestrates events in the lives of believers. As demonstrated in the journey of Paul and Silas, God directed their steps to specific locations to fulfill His purpose of salvation for the elect. Each circumstance, including persecution, was utilized by God to drive His messengers to where His chosen ones were. Similarly, in our own lives, providential occurrences, whether joyous or difficult, are part of God's grand design, ensuring we encounter the Gospel at the appointed time. This understanding encourages Christians to trust in God's sovereignty, knowing that every event serves a purpose in His eternal plan.
