Schoonenberg gave an example of ‘the person influenced by grace’.
Consider the metaphor of illness. Grace is like a drug that a person has taken. The potion works on the person’s nature, aiding its combat with the illness.
The reverse is true for sin. A person takes a drug that induces ill effects in the person’s nature.
But doesn’t God, at times, bypass a person’s decisions?
What about miracles of healing or punishment?
What about the repercussions of the grace of paradise and Original Sin?
