God's mission from Genesis to Revelation IS to redeem a lost world. His activities are planned , purposed and timely as He provides His salvation for all people. At the proper time God showed His love by sending His only Son to provide salvation by dying on the cross. His mission includes creating a people for Himself who will be a royal priesthood and holy nation belonging to Him. God works through His people to bring eternal salvation to all, sending them into the world with His message of salvation.
God's mission is necessary because people choose to rebel against Him by sinning. God is on a mission to:
= bring poeple back to the perfect love relationship He originalle created them to have.
= provide redemption for people lost in sin
=establish a holy nation set apart for His exclusice use and reflecting His nature
=work through the church in a ministry of reconciliation
and
=exalt jesus and draw a lost world to Faith in Christ ^_^

The name God refers to the deity held by monotheists to be the supreme reality. God is believed to be the sole creator of the universe. As of 2007, a majority of human beings generally believe in a monotheistic God, usually in some form of the Abrahamic God of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.The unifying monotheistic conception of Brahman prevailing in the henotheistic belief system of Hinduism is also significant as a representative element in humanity's belief in a supreme God.
Theologians have ascribed certain attributes to God, including omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, perfect goodness, divine simplicity, and eternal and necessary existence. He has been described as incorporeal, a personal being, a source of moral obligation, and the greatest conceivable existent.These attributes were supported to varying degrees by the early Christian, Muslim, and Jewish scholars, including St Augustine, Al-Ghazali, and Maimonides, respectively.
All the notable medieval philosophers developed arguments for the existence of God, attempting to wrestle with the contradictions God's attributes seem to imply. The last few hundred years of philosophy have seen sustained attacks on some of the arguments for God's existence, put forth by such philosophers as Friedrich Nietzsche and Antony Flew. The theist response has been either to contend, like Alvin Plantinga, that faith is properly basic; or to accept, like Richard Swinburne, the evidentialist challenge

Based on free will, I don't think he has a mission...not like he did in the Old Testament. I think he sits back and sees who accept him and doesn't anymore....until Armageddon comes that is.

Impossible to answer, because no human can understand the mind of God.All we can do is speculate, and the probability of being right is slim to none.The only thing we know for sure is what is REVEALED to us in the Bible, the salvation of mankind, because of His love and mercy towards us. Just about everything else is unknown.

I'll let our Heavenly Father speak for Himself; He's much more eloquent than I and much more concise. John3:16 " For God so loved the world,that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish , but have eternal life."
