What is the purpose of God for man according to the Bible?

In Genesis 1:26-28, we learn that God's intention for humanity was clear: to be made in His image and to have dominion over all living things. This original purpose underscores man’s unique position in creation and reflects God’s authority and sovereignty. However, due to sin entering the world through Adam's disobedience, this purpose has been marred. In Hebrews 2:5-9, it is evident that while God intended for man to rule, we do not yet see all things under human authority, but we do see Jesus, who, through His suffering and victory over death, restores this dominion to those in union with Him.
