The Ultimate Intention

by Devern F. Fromke

Scores of pastors and leaders “THIS CHANGED MY LIFE AND MINISTRY.”The author considers these critical the beginning, before God created Adam (mankind), what was His original purpose and plan for him?What could have happened in the Garden of Eden if Adam had not sinned and God’s redemptive plan had not become necessary?We know that when God created Adam he received natural life, but how did God plan for Adam to receive Divine (uncreated life)? What is the difference between God’s creating and begetting work?It is evident that God has given the Cross a central place in His redemptive working; what is the difference between the work of the Cross and the way of the Cross?Since God, in the fullness of time, will put on display His Divine masterpiece before all the universe, how can we fully cooperate with him if we do not understand His Ultimate Intention?

I read THE ULTIMATE INTENTION during the month of June 2024. It was interesting to read how Fromke viewed the church in 1962 (the date of publication). Several events hadn't happened: the assassination of JFK, the Viet Nam war, the assassinations of RFK and MLK, Watergate...and on and on. I grew up in a Baptist church. The truths presented here were never taught. The general message was get saved and then live the Christian life as best you could. It was many years later that I started attending a church that taught these truths (for the most part). It is still true, as delineated by Fromke, that many Believers are primarily interested in what God can do for them, rather than who they are for God. I will definitely be reviewing the principles taught in THE ULTIMATE INTENTION. It is an important book for every Believer.

Devern Fromke does not need my 5 star review but alas he will get my 5 star review !!! Talk about some seriously deep love for Jesus, a holy and obedient life, and being faithful to the call and purpose that God has for him !! sheesh !!!!!!

Obviously I love Fromke, but I also really loved this book. Genuinely wept several times while reading it. Fromke brilliantly illustrates God’s “ultimate intention” to have a bride for his Son as a metaphorical concept established throughout all of scripture, but also a spiritual reality for all believers that allows us to live in a way that prepares us to be apart of the bride of Christ !!!!! like what !!!! amen Devern !!!!

A must read for everyone who is ready to see HIM!

What a glorious revelation of the eternal purposes of God the Father, through His son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Over 25 years ago, this truly changed my life and mission, no longer to live unto myself, but wholly unto Him. Let your prayer be, “open my eyes to see Him…” My all time favorite God-centered book.

A must read for the person that feels like they have tried everything !

I believe this book will open up a new way to look at life that leads us to live in real victory from our flesh, resulting in walking in the Spirit.

Good read

This author has amazing insights. I have never considered this point of view. God's ultimate intention, deep. I liked how he looked at the Old Testament as well
