Irresistable Grace
We are not more powerful than God's grace.
If we were to be able to somehow resist God's effectual call of regeneration, then we would be able to take credit for the faith by which were saved. But as Ephesians 2:8-9 states, faith is a gift of God. Not of ourselves. Faith is a gift of grace. Let's see how we know that it's irresistable...
Look at what Jesus said:
John 6:44
"No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day."
verse 37:
"All that the Father gives me will come to me."
How many that the Father gives to Christ? ALL
Look at Romans 8:29
"And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified."
So WHO does he end up justifying? Those whom HE CALLS! Who does he call? Those whom HE PREDESTINES!
ALL glory be to God. Thanks to His power and love we are able to know Him.
