Purpose Driven Life 7
I have a real problem with even guessing God’s purpose. God is so far beyond my experience I can’t even conceive of “him”. How the toast am I to know what his plans are.
This is also a case of creative use of translations. A “normal” (NRSV) translation of Ro 11:36 is: “For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever. Amen.” So there is no indication of God’s purpose in that passage at all.
I am not sure why it is important to know God’s purpose. I can’t even consistently keep the simple direct instructions I have been given. Do I need more information so I can choose which of the instructions I am not keeping are more important to fail to keep?
