What is irresistible grace in Reformed theology?

Answered in 2 sources

Irresistible grace means that those whom God has chosen will inevitably come to faith, responding positively to the call of the Holy Spirit (Psalm 110:3).

Irresistible grace refers to the doctrine that God's grace effectively brings about the salvation of those He has chosen, overcoming all resistance. Psalm 110:3 illustrates that God's people will be made willing, showing that the Holy Spirit's call is so powerful that it cannot be rejected. Biblical examples such as Lazarus and the woman at the well depict how God's grace transforms hearts, leading sinners to repentance. This doctrine reassures believers that their faith is not merely a choice of the will but a response to God's powerful action in their lives, reinforcing the concept of salvation as a work of divine grace.
