What is irresistible grace in the Reformed perspective?
Answered in 1 source
Irresistible grace is the doctrine that God's call to salvation cannot be rejected by those He has chosen.
Irresistible grace teaches that when God purposes to save an individual, that person will inevitably come to faith in Christ. As Romans 8:30 outlines, those whom God predestines, He also calls; this call is effectual and results in salvation. Jesus states in John 6:44, 'No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him,' indicating that God's drawing is powerful and accomplishes His intention. This doctrine reassures believers that their coming to faith in Jesus is entirely the work of God's grace, ensuring that none who are chosen by Him will ultimately be lost.
