How do we know that grace is irresistible in salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Grace is irresistible in salvation because it actively draws those chosen by God, similar to how David fetched Mephibosheth.

The sermon illustrates irresistible grace through the story of Mephibosheth, who was fetched from a place of desolation by David's servants. Just as Mephibosheth was powerless to come to David on his own due to his lameness, sinful humanity lacks the ability to seek God without divine intervention. God's grace functions irresistibly, compelling the chosen to respond to His call, as indicated in John 6:44 where Jesus states, 'No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him.' This demonstrates that God's gracious calling is powerful and effectual for those He has predestined for salvation.
