God's call is irresistible because it is an effective act of divine will, leading those He calls to inevitably respond in faith.
The irresistible nature of God's call is anchored in the understanding that when God issues a call, it accomplishes its intended purpose. In John 6:37, Jesus states, 'All that the Father gives me will come to me,' indicating that those whom God has chosen will surely respond to His call. This is further demonstrated in John 6:44, which stipulates that no one can come to Christ unless drawn by the Father. The calling of Lazarus serves as an illustration; when Jesus called him, Lazarus had no choice but to obey. Likewise, when God calls a sinner, He does so with purpose and power, enabling them to respond positively to the gospel and thereby fulfilling His divine plan of salvation.
