Questions to consider
1. If God would save all men, but cannot, is He infinite in power?
2. If God can save all men, but will not, is He infinite in goodness?
3. Does God desire the salvation of all men? (1 Tim. 2:3-4)
4. Since God is righteous, must not the desire for universal salvation be a righteous desire?
5. Is it true, that "the desire of the righteous shall be granted?" -- (Prov. 10:24)
6. Did God design universal salvation when He created man?
7. Will God carry His original design into execution?
8. Can finite man frustrate the purposes of the Almighty?
Good questions...but sadly, not asked by most Christians.
Our Father has given us life through Christ
God's word will not return to Him void/empty.
By definition the agape love overlooks every error and is not in need of obtaining responsive interaction to achieve success .
If God is not be able to carry out His mission then He is effectively weaker than man- ergo not an actual God but a servant. Why Paul points out Isaiah's point about the pot telling the potter why it was made is ridiculous and presumptuous.
Knowledge of the future and the truth of what Christ did wipes out the fear of failure.
Cheers

aye but its no just His 'desire'...the word is 'boulemos' in the passage in Peter God resolves none to perish....) and it means 'resolved'
Aye indeed, brother! Our Father has indeed resolved that absolutely NONE shall perish.
Leftover pieces of miracle fish and bread are gathered up by our Lord that nothing be lost.
We all can rest assured the Author & Finisher loses nothing.
