Prevenient Grace
The seventh Article of Faith of the Church of the Nazarene states the denomination's position on Prevenient Grace.At the time this is being written, there are changes in the language of the article that are in the process of being ratified. Therefore this post, as well as any other post that covers an article undergoing ratification, will look different than those for articles that are not undergoing changes. While the change in language often does not greatly affect the doctrine as it is understood by the denomination, it is difficult to provide a commentary on specific phrases during such a transition time. The following material that is in brackets indicate the language that is being deleted, and the words in italics are words that are being added. We believe that the grace of God through Jesus Christ is freely bestowed upon all people, enabling all who will to turn from sin to righteousness, believe on Jesus Christ for pardon and cleansing from sin, and follow good works
