MacArthur on grace

"Grace doesn't push sinners against their wills toward Christ; it draws them willingly to Him- by first opening their hearts. It enables them to see their sin for what it is and empowers them to despise what they formerly loved. It also equips them to see Christ for who He truly is. Someone whose heart has been opened like that will inevitably find Christ Himself irresistible. That is precisely the meaning of the expression "irresistible grace". That is how God draws sinners to Himself. "
