Motive of the Pilgrims

Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
1 Timothy 2:4

"God’s plan to reach all men required the gospel continue to move
west from the Old World, and, in 1620, He used a small group of faithful believers to carry the gospel to the New World.
These Pilgrims, as we call them now, had two goals in sailing across the ocean to settle a wild, untamed land. In Of Plymouth Plantation, the journal of Pilgrim William Bradford, we find these two goals eloquently expressed in the Mayflower Compact—
having undertaken for the glory of God
and the advancement of the Christian faith.”
