God is worthy to be worshiped by all peoples in all of the world.
God is lavishly good all of the time. He is the highest value and the greatest worth. He is the best of the best. The best thing that can happen to a person is to be brought into a living relation with God, fulfilling the purspose for which each person has been created. The second best thing that can happen to a person is to become an active ambassador of the living God; a distributor of the world’s greatest gift.
God is worthy of all glory. By glory, I mean that God is worthy to receive recognition for the reality of His character, His power, His goodness, and all of the things that He has done. He is the giver of every good and perfect gift.
God’s global purpose includes bringing all people to recognize His glory.
His primary way of bringing glory to His name is through people who have already realized the greatness of His glory telling other people who have not heard.
What is God’s global purpose for people?
