What is prevenient grace? Prevenient grace refers to the grace of God in person's life that precedes conversion. The divine grace that prepares the human heart to respond to Christ. Wesley taught that God's grace shapes us throughout our lives. After God's prevenient grace convicts us of our sin and our need for Christ, and after we receive forgiveness by faith through God's justifying grace, our spiritual growth continues. By God's sanctifying grace, we mature as disciples of Jesus Christ.
