The Bible teaches that God's purpose is eternal and unchangeable, encompassing all things for His glory and the good of His elect.

According to Ephesians 3:11, God's purpose is described as eternal and established in Christ Jesus. The Scriptures affirm that everything that happens has been predetermined by God from eternity. In Romans 8:28, we see that all things work together for good to those who love God, emphasizing that His overarching plan includes every event and experience in life.
