"...when we do ask about God's design, we are too prone to describe it with ourselves at the center of God's affections. We may say, for example, that His design is to redeem the world. Or to save sinners. Or to restore creation. Or the like.
But God's saving designs are penultimate, not ultimate. Redemption, salvation, and restoration are not God's ultimate goal these He preforms for the sake of something greater: namely, the enjoyment He has in glorifying Himself."
Desiring God by John Piper / Multnomah Books / 2003 / pg. 31
