Prevenient grace is a theological concept primarily associated with Wesleyan theology and Methodism. It refers to the grace of God that precedes human decision, enabling individuals to respond to God's call. This grace is believed to be available to everyone, allowing them the opportunity to choose faith and salvation. This idea emphasizes that God's love and mercy are active in a person's life even before they consciously seek Him. Prevenient grace is seen as a crucial element in the process of salvation, as it prepares the heart and mind to accept the gift of faith offered through Jesus Christ.
