2. Christianity will not be defeated. Shall not return unto Me void."

3. Christianity will ultimately accomplish God's will and pleasure. "Shall accomplish that which I please."

4. Christianity shall produce its Divinely intended results. "Shall prosper in the thing whereto! sent it."

5. As in nature, the process slow but certain.
