All common grace is earlier grace. Its commonness lies in its earliness. It pertains not merely to the lower dimensions of life. It pertains to all dimensions, and to these dimensions in the same way at all stages of history.
Cornelius Van Til
The essence of common grace is the restraint of the process of sin.
Cornelius Van Til
Common grace is an omnipresent operation of divine mercy, which reveals itself everywhere where human hearts are found to beat, and which spreads its blessing upon these human hearts.
Abraham Kuyper
Common grace places everyone continually in God’s debt—and the debt grows with every moment of life.
