The Eternal Purpose of God is written to show God’s great desire to have a family created out of love in the Godhead and expressed in the angels, Adam and Eve, in Israel, and finally, in the church—all named in heaven and in earth after Christ. It expands on holiness and the behavior that God expects and then apostasy of each family and, finally, the eternal blessing God intends for all.

With startling effect, Lance Lambert reveals the symmetrical design evident throughout the Bible, including the fascinating relationship between Genesis and Revelation. The author uncovers a dimension of the Bible that most believers will surely find a new revelation. The author writes, “There is no truth that is of greater importance than this matter of God’s eternal purpose. Once you begin to understand God’s ultimate aim in time, and for the ages to come, life becomes more meaningful and signifi cant. Why did God create this universe and this earth, which at our present extent of knowledge is unique? What was His aim and goal in its creation? Why did He create mankind? And when man fell short of His glory through sin, why did He persevere and provide salvation? Is that salvation an end in itself, or is it a means to an end, with everything provided within it to reach the final goal? And how can I be involved in the fulfi llment of that purpose?” Answering these very questions, this passionate book will point you to a fresh and exciting understanding of what it truly means to be a Christian. It helps answer the ultimate question: What is the meaning of life?

We, as believers, are God's co-workers. You can either be a co-worker of God or a worker for God. There are two kinds of work-work for the Lord and the work of the Lord. When it is His work, when you are a co-worker together with God under His command, and it is His work, anything can happen.
