How does the cross relate to irresistible grace?

Answered in 1 source

The cross is the means by which God effectively draws His elect to Himself through irresistible grace.

Irresistible grace refers to the doctrine that God's grace to save is effectual and cannot be rejected by those whom He has chosen. Through the cross, God draws sinners to Himself, as stated in John 6:44, 'No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him.' This drawing is not merely a calling but a powerful re-creation of the soul that enables one to respond in faith to Christ's sacrifice. The preaching of the cross reveals Christ’s glory and acts as the irresistible appeal that draws God’s elect to salvation, highlighting the beauty of His grace.
