Answered in 2 sources
God's purpose in salvation involves His sovereign plan to redeem certain individuals according to His grace, as expressed in Ephesians 1:4-5.
God's purpose in salvation is an expression of His will and intent to redeem a people for Himself. Ephesians 1:4-5 highlights this, stating that He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, predestining us to adoption as His children. This reveals that salvation is not a random act but a deliberate divine plan rooted in God's love and grace. His purpose ensures that every aspect of salvation—from election to calling and ultimate glorification—is orchestrated by Him, leaving no room for human pride and guaranteeing that all glory belongs to God.
