To inspire people to look upwards towards heaven
The purpose of the northwest passage was for European explorers to find a way to Asia by going west. Many people believed that there was such a passage and hoped to find it.
Expansion of European rule and power was a significant interest in the Age of Discovery. They mostly explored the New World in search of passages that were said to lead to Asia and the East Indies, its products, and some simply to find adventure. :)
European explorers believed that the Northwest Passage would take them to Asia and the Spice Islands for the purpose of setting up lucrative trade routes. They thought that this water route would be a more direct and faster route.

to force ones eyes to look towards the heavens
The stated purpose was to force one's eyes to look up towards the heavens. As a practical matter, the large pointed arches made it possible to build walls with large windows. This admitted more light to the building during daytime. It also reduced the weight of the wall, making it possible to use less stone in the supporting columns, making them narrower, and increasing the relative sizes of the entrances and the nave. The spires proclaimed the fact that there was a church or cathedral in that place, so it can be seen from a distance. They also provide a visual counterpoint to the arches themselves, and so worked visually well with the style.
The arches and spires of the medieval architecture were intended to force one's eyes to look toward the heavens. The spires in particular represent a finger pointing upward to God to indicate that he is in Heaven. The spires provided a constant reminder of that belief. Arches were an innovation of architecture to provide strength to the structure and provide additional light to inside of the building.
