No failure is possible. What God's immutable counsel is, we see in 2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance., where the original word translated "willing" is the same as "counsel" here.
"HE HAS APPEARED TO PUT AWAY SIN BY THE SACRIFICE OF HIMSELF." Heb. 9:26.
Sin has intruded and caused an appearance of failure in God's plan. Christ comes to sweep sin away. When will our opponents meet fairly the dilemma, either Christ fails, or succeeds in His purpose. If He fails, you contradict Scripture. If He succeeds, you contradict your dogma. -Thomas Allin
He put away sin, he conquered death, he became the Savior of the world, He saved the lost, he saved sinners, and he will destroy the works of the devil, and he is in the Father reconciling the world unto himself. What do you say? Did he or did he not accomplish what he was sent by the Father to do? The prophets said he would, John the Baptist said He was in the process, and Jesus said He did. What do you say?
