How does irresistible grace work in salvation?

Irresistible grace teaches that when God bestows His grace upon the elect, they will respond positively, resulting in faith and salvation. As stated in 2 Thessalonians 2:13, God chooses people to salvation through the sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth. This implies that those whom God lovingly draws to Himself cannot resist this drawing because they are made spiritually alive to respond. Since humanity is spiritually dead and incapable of seeking God, it is only by God's sovereign grace that they are enabled to come to Him, believe, and be saved.
