How does irresistible grace work?

Answered in 2 sources

Irresistible grace refers to the sovereign action of the Holy Spirit, allowing the elect to respond positively to God's call to salvation.

Irresistible grace is the doctrine that when God calls His elect to salvation, they cannot ultimately resist that call. This grace is effectual and transforms the hearts of those whom God has chosen. Psalm 65:4 speaks to this by declaring, 'Blessed is the man whom Thou choosest, and causest to approach unto Thee.' Additionally, Ephesians 2:4-5 explains that it is by God’s rich mercy that we are made alive in Christ Jesus. Thus, this doctrine assures believers that their coming to faith is a direct result of God's powerful and irresistible work within them, ensuring that all whom He has chosen will ultimately be saved.
