Prevenient Grace

Summary

The sermon explores the concept of prevenient grace, distinguishing between the Old Baptist understanding that regeneration precedes faith and the broader Christian notion of prevenient grace as an enabling grace before regeneration. The preacher argues against the idea of a third category of man—those in prevenient grace—asserting that Scripture only supports two categories: the unregenerate and the regenerate. Key biblical passages are used to affirm that the unregenerate cannot please God or exercise saving faith, emphasizing that God's drawing is a sovereign act that results in regeneration, not a mere wooing or enabling.
