How do we know grace is irresistible?

Answered in 3 sources

Grace is irresistible because those chosen by God will inevitably come to faith, as seen in John 6:37.

The concept of irresistible grace is rooted in the conviction that God's elect cannot resist the calling of the Holy Spirit. John 6:37 declares that all that the Father gives to the Son will come to Him, confirming that every chosen individual will ultimately respond to God's grace. This is not a coercion but a transformation where God effectively draws the sinner to Himself, resulting in true belief and repentance. In 2 Timothy 1:9, we read that God saves and calls us according to His purpose and grace, highlighting that this divine initiative ensures that His chosen ones cannot refuse His grace. Therefore, those who experience this grace will come to faith, illustrating the certainty of their salvation.
