• External Grace

Any providential fact or event which by its moral influence helps rational creatures on their way to heaven. Such a grace is Holy Scripture, the preaching of the Gospel, the life of Christ and of the saints, and in general any fact or event whatever, in so far as under the providence of God it is calculated to exert a moral influence towards the attainment of salvation.
