God seeks his own glory.

Refuting Calvinism

God is love. 1 John 4:8.

Love seeks not her own. 1 Cor. 13:5.

[Charity] Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

Therefore, god does not seek his own.

However, Calvinism posits the opposite:

... The primary, or “supreme and ultimate” end of Christ's death is the glory of God. The glory of God stands at the center in Reformed theology. ...

... Reformed theologians see that God's glory is the primary goal and end of everything which God does, including the salvation of the elect, but that in itself is not the primary goal; the glory of God is the primary goal1
