I think what God ultimately wants from man is for man to want Perfection in his God. And in this desire for Perfection from our Father is our conceptual gateway towards true omnipotence, i.e., towards our will to do all right.

It is helpful, in being a Christian, to know what God wants from us Men - To know, ultimately, where it is all supposed to be going.
The answer is that God wants us to become like Him, as much like Him as possible - so that we can dwell with Him in the same kind of relationship as he has with Jesus Christ.
We are Sons (and Daughters) of God, and so was Jesus Christ - but Christ began as God and became Man - we begin as Men and are offered the chance to become gods.
We are currently immature, childish, weak and flawed Sons of God - and God wants us to grow-up, as much as possible (eventually).
(This growing-up process is variously called theosis, sanctification, spiritual progression, divinization.)
That is what God wants from us; and salvation is ('just') the necessary first step on this path.
And it all depends on whether we agree with this plan; because we have to choose to cooperate with it - it will not be forced-upon us.
Do we want to become gods and live with God the Father and Jesus Christ - not as equal in status; but able to relate and communicate with them on the same level?
