Van Til on Common Grace

I’ve discussed the biblical doctrine of common grace elsewhere, but here are The wise words of Cornelius Van Til on the subject:

Common grace is [God’s] favor to sinners by which they are kept from working out to the full the principle of sin within them and thereby are enabled to show some measure of involuntary respect and appreciation for the law of God that speaks to them even through their own constitution, as well as through the facts of the world outside.

-Cornelius Van Til, An Introduction to Systematic Theology, 55.
