Is grace irresistible? Not according to Acts 7:51. Stephen accused the Jews of resisting the Holy Spirit.

If God wanted them to be His could they resist?

John 6:63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing...

Isn't it more likely God wanted them to be resistant so that salvation would come to all men and not just the Jews?

Maybe, maybe not. The fact that Stephen knew that one can resist the grace of God is the topic of the verse.

When we receive Jesus, the Spirit gives life.
