How does God prevent us from sinning?

Answered in 1 source

God's preventing grace stops us from committing sins that we would otherwise fall into.

The concept of preventing grace underscores that all believers are sustained through God's intervention in their lives. As seen in Abigail's interaction with David, God prevented David from committing a grievous sin by sending Abigail to intervene. This act of grace reflects God's sovereignty and providential workings in our lives, reminding us that the only reason we do not commit every sin possible is due to God’s restraining hand. That's why Christians should continually seek God's grace in their walk, praying for His guidance to prevent them from straying into sin.
