Prevenient Grace Psalm 21:5
Preachers do not talk about it much anymore, because preachers, for the most part, know nothing about the grace of God; but a common theme of meditation and preaching in earlier times was GodŐs prevenient grace. Prevenient grace is the secret operation of grace that precedes and prepares the way for GodŐs saving grace. Prevenient grace is illustrated in many ways in the Word of God. I will call your attention to just three aspects of it.
How I rejoice and give thanks to God for his free Covenant Grace and for his secret Prevenient Grace. It is this prevenient grace that keeps and preserves his elect throughout their days of rebellion unto the day of their calling (Jude 1). Prevenient grace gives the angels their charge (Hebrews 1:14).
