"Calvinists would say it is Irresistable Grace,"

That's a bit simplistic. It would be similar if I said, "Arminians would say it is becuase of prevenient grace".

"Arminians would say it is Man's recognition of his true condition and the relief of that condition offered to them by God through Jesus Christ. "

Calvinists would say much the same thing. This brings the difference to an even deeper level: Just how does man get this 'recognition of his true condition'?

According to today's chapter, Man recognizes his true condition the more he contemplates God's nature.
