Irresistible grace refers to the effectual calling of the Holy Spirit that ensures the elect will be brought to faith.
Irresistible grace is a pivotal aspect of Reformed theology, signifying that all whom God has chosen will ultimately respond to His call to salvation. As depicted in Psalm 110:3, 'Thy people shall be made willing in the day of Thy power,' this truth encapsulates the transformative work of the Holy Spirit. Biblical accounts such as the conversion of Saul of Tarsus and the calling of Lazarus demonstrate that God's grace cannot be ultimately resisted by those He calls. This highlights not only God's sovereignty in salvation but also His unwavering commitment to bring His elect to faith, ensuring their acknowledgment and acceptance of the gospel.
