Don't you see, there is a huge difference between man prior to salvation, when we were enslaved to sin COMPLETELY, and the day that the light came into our lives and God had his Spirit open our eyes to God's beauty, to his worth, and we were converted. Since that time, our new nature keeps us from being enslaved to sin. That is a huge difference and why we WOULD HAVE ALWAYS rejected his grace prior to salvation, while now we sometimes sin, but are not enslaved to it.

His work is the reason for the change.

And where does it say that we would always resist that grace unless God forced us to believe?

I see in Acts 10-11 an unsaved man seeking God and God leading him to where he can find salvation.

Why do we still resist that same grace now after salvation if it so 'irresistable'?

His work is the reason for the change.

Yes, it is God's work but we must yield to it willingly
