  • Prevenient grace (also referred to as prevenial) is a Christian theological concept rooted in Augustinian theology. It is embraced primarily by Arminian Christians who are influenced by the theology of John Wesley, and who are part of the Methodist movement. Wesley typically referred to it in 18th century language as preventing grace. In modern English, the phrase preceding grace would have a similar meaning. Prevenient grace is divine grace which precedes human decision. It exists prior to and without reference to anything humans may have done. As humans are corrupted by the effects of sin, prevenient grace allows persons to engage their God-given free will to choose the salvation offered by God in Jesus Christ or to reject that salvific offer. Whereas Augustine held that prevenient grace cannot be resisted, Wesleyan Arminians believe that it enables, but does not ensure, personal acceptance of the gift of salvation.
  • 先行的恩寵（せんこうてきおんちょう、Prevenient Grace）とは、救いの恵みに先立って（先行的に）与えられる諸々の恩寵を指す。 4世紀の神学者アウグスティヌスなどによれば、キリストの救いは神の一方的な恵み・恩寵によるものとされる。しかし、人が救いの体験を持つ以前の期間にも、神の恵みは、すべての人・神に背いている罪人にも等しくそれが注がれているとされる。そもそも「死ぬべし」と宣告された罪ある者が、この地上でのいのちを与えられて生きていること自体が恵みゆえなのである。更に、地上のいのちを支えるすべてのことども、いのちを支えるになくてはならない衣食住、社会の秩序、それを維持し保護する政治、犯罪を防ぐ法律や警察といった手段、これらもすべて「先行的恩寵」の中に数えられる。 人を救いの経験へと導くに至る様々な摂理的な要因は「先行的恩寵」の中でも最たるものであるが、その働きを強調するのが、ウエスレアン・アルミニアン神学の特徴とされる。それに対して、改革派神学では、恩寵の概念を「一般恩寵」と「選びの恩寵」とに二分して、「選びの恩寵」に与る者は、神によって救いに選ばれた特定の人のみであって、「一般恩寵」に浴していても、神に選ばれていない者は、「救いの恩寵」に与ることはないとする。改革派神学の基準となるドルト信仰基準の中の「限定贖罪説」を参照のこと。
