Evangelical Christians too often believe that God’s top priority is the salvation of men. This is a man-centered viewpoint, a kind of baptized humanism for Christians. It makes them think that they are the center of God’s concern. They are not. God is the center of God’s concern. The universe is theocentric. If the salvation of men were God’s primary concern, then He is surely a failure, for comparatively few men so far have been saved. The glory of God, which includes hell and the post-final judgment lake of fire (Rev. 20:15), is God’s chief priority. The salvation of men is God’s means of extending His kingdom in history, but building His kingdom, not the salvation of men, is God’s top priority for man. ~ Gary North, Priorities and Dominion
