What does it mean that salvation is 'irresistible'?
Answered in 1 source
The term 'irresistible grace' means that when God calls His chosen ones, they will ultimately come to faith.
The doctrine of irresistible grace emphasizes that the grace given by God to save His elect cannot be resisted. This is rooted in the belief that when the Holy Spirit convicts a person of their sin and brings them to faith, they will respond positively to God's calling due to the transformative power of the grace being bestowed. As described in Romans 8:30, those whom God calls, He justifies. This divine act ensures that the salvation God offers is effectual and will accomplish the intended purpose, reaffirming the sovereignty of His grace in bringing His people to Himself.
