How does irresistible grace work in our salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Irresistible grace is the teaching that God's call to salvation cannot be rejected by those whom He has chosen.

Irresistible grace refers to the effective work of the Holy Spirit in the hearts of the elect, ensuring that they will respond to the gospel. When God chooses to save someone, He draws them to Himself through His Spirit. As John 6:37 states, all that the Father gives me will come to me, highlighting the certainty of the elect responding to His call. This grace works within us, transforming our hearts so that we willingly and eagerly come to Christ, as illustrated in Psalm 110:3, which says that God's people will be willing in the day of His power. Thus, God's grace effectively overcomes our resistance and brings us to a place of faith and repentance.
