THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF THE UNIVERSE; THE CHURCH

 Christ the head 

Ephesians 1'20-23

Psalm 148:5-9, 1corithians 6:2-3)

What was the purpose that God had in mind when he sent his son into the world? He came to die and rise again. And what was the purpose of that? The most common answer is that he died and rose again to redeem the world John(3:16), 1timothy 1:15). This is true but it is too simplistic in it outlook

A. The Church-The Central Object And Goal Of History.

 From all eternity God

purposed that at a time in the future his son should have an eternal companion, described by John in Revelation as "the bride" the lamb's wife (rev 21:9)  the eternal companion in God's eternal purpose is to share the  bridegroom's throne following the marriage supper of the lamb (rev 3:21) 

Jesus came for one intent only one to give birth to his church.
