Ephesians 1:8-12

⁸ ….. In all wisdom and insight ⁹ He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He (God) purposed in Him (Jesus) ……..¹¹ …… who (God) works all things after the counsel of His will, ¹² to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ would be to the praise of His glory.

God’s will is based on a loving purpose (“kind intention”).  That loving purpose is based on His inherent nature (“God is love” – 1 John 4:8).  And He executes everything, down to the tiniest detail, according to the plan which he has created (“works all things after the counsel of His will”).
