How do we know that God's grace is irresistible?

Answered in 13 sources

God's grace is irresistible as demonstrated by the conversion of Saul, where he could not refuse the call of Christ due to God's sovereign will.

The account of Saul's conversion showcases the irresistible nature of God's grace. Despite Saul's strong opposition to Christ and the church, God sovereignly chose to reveal Himself to Saul, effectively overcoming his resistance. This act of grace was not initiated by Saul's seeking; rather, it was God who sought Saul. The Scriptures affirm that those called by God cannot ultimately resist His will, as seen in Romans 8:30, where those whom God predestines, He also calls. This biblical principle supports the view that God's grace works effectively in the hearts of the elect, rendering them compliant to His will and purpose (Acts 26:12-18).
