God WILL accomplish His WILL.
Because of the finished cross-work of Christ in destroying sin and death. I believe that:
God is both sovereign and love (Eph 1:11, 1 John 4:8) and His love will never cause Him to reject any person, ever.
God can accomplish and will accomplish whatever He wills (Is. 46:10–11, Is. 55:11, Psalm 135:6)
wants to save all mankind (1 Timothy 2:4) and reconcile all people back to Himself (Colossians 1:20). Therefore, He will, because nothing can stop Him and no one can resist his ultimate will (Dan. 4:35)
God will accomplish His will through Jesus, who is the only way to Father God. (John 14:6)
Christ came to do the will of the Father (John 4:34, Heb. 10:9), which ultimately means Jesus came to be the Saviour of ALL people (1 John 4:14, 1 John 2:2) and to save humanity (Matthew 1:21) and abolish death (2 Timothy 1:10)
And since the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23), not eternal conscious torture in hell, Jesus was 100% successful on the cross, "It is finished" (John 19:30), by demonstrating that He DEFEATED SIN & DEATH for ALL people!
Death no longer has the final say. Every single person will eventually find their way back to God, however, this will all be done in it's correct order: Christ the firstfruits; then at His coming, those who belong to Him, aka "the elect" (1 Cori. 15:20-28)
God will then use His chosen people to bring about the age to come, ruling and reigning with Hm (Rev. 20:6), working with him, not resting until every lost sheep is brought back to the flock (Luke 15:1-7)
During this time, there will be a "refining fire" of correction, also known as the "second death" in the "lake of fire", for those not in Christ - a temporary, but necessary process, because “when the earth experiences [God's] righteous judgments the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.” (Isaiah 26:9)
Then everyone will freely be choosing to worship Christ, with EVERY knee bowing and every tongue confessing that Jesus Christ is Lord to the Glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:9-11) and God will finally be "All in ALL and ALL in Christ" (1 Corin. 15:28)
LOVE TRULY DOES WIN!
