What does it mean that God's grace is irresistible?

Answered in 1 source

Irresistible grace means that those chosen by God will inevitably come to faith in Christ.

The concept of irresistible grace within Reformed theology suggests that when God intends to save someone, His grace effectively brings them to faith, and they cannot ultimately resist it. This is seen in the calling of the elect, as God's Spirit works within them to overcome their innate hostility toward Him and turns their hearts to Christ. For instance, Romans 8:30 declares that those God calls, He also justifies, signifying that the work of God in their lives will complete the process of salvation. Those who are truly chosen by God will find themselves drawn to Him, yielding to His love and forgiveness, ensuring that none of His chosen will perish. This assures believers of the efficacy of God's grace in their lives.
