The Purpose of God is to Obtain a People Who are Like The Son.
He Wants Many Sons, and these Many Sons are to be Like His Only Son.
And These Many Sons are to be Conformed to the Image of His Only Begotten Son.
And When He Obtains Men Like This One Man, His Plan is Realized.
Soul, as the Father Hath Loved Me, So I Have Loved you: Abide in My Love.

Henceforth Thy Love Shall Be the Only Home of my soul: in Thy Love Alone will I Abide.

He Reaches the End Triumphantly.

HEBREWS 12.1-3
Therefore, we also having so great a cloud of witnesses set around us, having put off every weight, and the closely besetting sin, may we run the contest that is set before us through endurance, looking to the Author and Perfecter of the faith—Jesus, who, for the joy set before Him, endured a cross, having despised shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God; for again consider Him who endured such contradiction from the sinners to Himself, that you may not be wearied in your souls—being faint.
