Irresistible Grace indicates that the Holy Spirit's call to the elect results in certain salvation that cannot be rejected.
Irresistible Grace is the doctrine that, when the Holy Spirit extends His inward call to the elect, it effectively leads them to salvation. This means that those whom God has chosen will inevitably respond to His call and receive salvation, as the Spirit enables them to cooperate willingly. Unlike the external call of the gospel, which can be ignored or rejected, the internal call is powerful and persuasive, ensuring that the elect will come to faith. Scriptures like John 6:44 and Romans 8:28-30 emphasize that God's grace is never thwarted; it accomplishes His purpose in the lives of those He has chosen, emphasizing the sovereign nature of God's salvation.
