Does the Lord God act in self-interest? Is not by Grace through Faith an act of self-interest on God’s part? I’m not saying this is an evil thing that God would act in His own interest. That’s certainly not it at all, but all of this is creation is in the interest of what or who, and what is the end result and that would be according to who?

imo all of this creation is in the interests of those who seek life, more abundantly,
and the end result might be expressed as the world, passing away,
so that the earth can manifest or contain New Jerusalem

Does the Lord God act in self-interest?

Absolutely!

Col 1:16
...all things were created BY him, and FOR him.

Rev 4:11
...thou hast created all things.....
FOR thy PLEASURE they ARE and WERE created.

END RESULT? God being PLEASED.

God Bless,
