Inwardly and subjectively, that is, beneath the level of consciousness, the Holy Spirit effects a transformation of the mind and will which inevitably and irresistibly issues in the conscious acquiescence of the person to the truth of the gospel. Prior to this effectual transformation, the person is unwilling to believe. Subsequent to it, he is willing to believe and, in fact, does believe. If God did not at some point make us willing to believe we would forever have remained unwilling and consequently lost. In this sense the grace of effectual calling and regeneration is, properly speaking, irresistible.

3 Engineers and the Stalled Car

Three engineers are riding in a car: an electrical engineer,
a chemical engineer, and a Microsoft engineer. Suddenly
the car stalls and stops by the side of the road. The
three engineers look at each other with bewilderment,
wondering what could be wrong.

The electrical engineer, not knowing much about mechanics,
suggests, "Let's strip down the electronics of the car
and try to trace where a fault might have occurred."

The chemical engineer, not knowing much about electronics,
suggests, "Maybe the fuel has become emulsified and
is causing a blockage somewhere in the system."

The Microsoft engineer suggests, "Why don't we close
all the windows, get out, get back in, open the windows
again, and maybe it will work."
