God's Primary Purpose in Simple Terms

Here, in simple terms, is God’s primary purpose in formulating the New Covenant. It was to recover a lost humanity from the devil’s power. The heavenly Father was not willing to lose His beloved creation to the powers of hell, so He formed a redemption plan – one that came completely from His heart of love, before the world was created.
