What does the Bible say about God's irresistible grace?
Answered in 1 source
God's irresistible grace ensures that His elect cannot resist the Spirit's work in their regeneration and salvation.
In Scripture, God's irresistible grace is demonstrated through His sovereign choice and the effective calling of His elect. It means that those whom God has chosen cannot resist the inner working of the Holy Spirit that leads them to faith and repentance. As Ezekiel 37 illustrates, God brings life to dry bones, symbolizing the dead condition of sinners who cannot come to life on their own. This grace is effectively at work as God sends the gospel and regenerates those He has chosen, ensuring they will come to faith in Christ. The grace of God is fundamentally free and unmerited; it is through His mercy and not through any works of righteousness that we are saved (Titus 3:5).
