God's ultimate purpose is to bring glory to Himself through His church. Believers are called to display His greatness through worship, obedience, and declaring His worth through words and actions. The church brings glory to God by maintaining focus on His name rather than self-promotion, creating an environment of authentic worship, and enabling each believer to fulfill their unique role in God's mission. Through edification, both numerical and spiritual growth occur as believers build genuine relationships and use their gifts to serve one another.
