Irresistible Call – When God calls, he does so with a perfect intention and plan that He alone WILL accomplish in the life of a sinner!
In historic reformation thought regeneration precedes faith! Faith is the means while grace is the catalyst! I am monergistic, God alone saves without any aid, help, or actions of man! When God created you, he did so without help and in regeneration he needs none either!
In John 3 Jesus talks with Nicodemus about being born again. Unable to perceive, Christ tells him he must be born of water(the natural birth) and of the spirit! Then Christ qualifies that statement with this, “the wind blows where it wants, it comes and it goes and you hear it but haven't a clue where it comes from. So is everyone born of the spirit!”
The Spirit is under no obligation to man, man's choice, or mans will! God is the AUTHOR and FINISHER of our faith! If he authors it and finishes it then we have no room to boast!
When God calls, you will answer.
