The sinner cannot resist the grace of God. Man cannot turn the jet stream that flows over America neither can he stop the earthquakes that erupts in her belly. Neither can he resist the Spirit of Grace! The Lord is not slack concerning His promises. God accomplishes His will!
edit to add: Irresistible grace is also effectual drawing. John 6:44 No one is dragged kicking and screaming into heaven but through regeneration the elect are drawn from spiritual death as one draws water from a deep well. (R C. Sproul) The sinner is not wooed to come up from the deep but is literally re-birthed and by the active force of the Holy Spirit brought to Christ according to the Father's will. None of this is accomplished under any cooperation of the elect. The Holy spirit compels by force. He does not extend an invitation or entice anyone to come. Jesus spoke to Lazarus and he left the tomb of death and came to life.

About Me
- WatchingHISstory
- Collierville, Tennessee, United States
- New Years eve 2005 God healed my personality and released me to be the kind of person he wants me to be. This was not a born-again experience because I had become a Christian at age 10 and was baptized in water, trinitarian, as an outward sign of an inward work of grace. During forty seven years I had stumbled through Church experiences seeing the humiliation that God himself endures because of the faulty theological views of Christ's atonement. God is mocked from the pulpit. Preachers have the audacity to obligate God to be a God of love. They rule by their own self-determination. Their behavior reflects their arrogant self-centered theology. While He is a God of incomprehendible love, He is also a God of wrath far greater than the human mind can understand. God is mocking American fundamentalism and it's lukewarm gospel. He is spewing it out of his mouth.
