How do we know the Holy Spirit's work is irresistible?

The work of the Holy Spirit is described as irresistible, meaning that when the Spirit works in the hearts of the chosen, they are compelled to respond positively to God's call. John 1:13 declares that those who believe are born not of blood, nor the will of flesh, but of God, indicating that our salvation does not rest on human effort but divine intervention. This divine power transforms hearts, enabling individuals to hear, understand, and accept the Gospel. The narrative of individuals like Levi (Matthew) illustrates this, as they left everything to follow Jesus, demonstrating the compelling nature of the Spirit’s work in the hearts of the elect. Thus, the working of the Holy Spirit is essential to salvation and faith.
