What does the Bible mean by provenient grace?

Answered in 1 source

Provenient grace refers to the grace that precedes and enables one's ability to respond to God’s saving grace.

Provenient grace is a concept emphasizing that before one can respond to the gospel, God bestows grace that initiates and supports that response. This is evident in John 1:16, which states that 'of His fullness, we have all received grace upon grace.' This idea comes to fruition in the life of a believer, as shown in references such as 2 Corinthians 12:9, where God provides grace sufficient for all our needs. Provenient grace paves the way for personal faith and commitment to Christ, enabling hearts to turn from sin as God draws them into a covenant relationship. Through this grace, God works internally, granting understanding, conviction, and a desire to seek Him, fundamentally shaping the believer's response to God’s call.
Scripture References: John 1:16, 2 Corinthians 12:9
