Grace And Peace.
Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God,to the saints which are at Ephesus,and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
Grace be to you,and peace,from God our Father,and from the Lord Jesus Christ.EPH.1:1
Here we have a common greeting in the Pauline epistles.Though a common greeting we find something that we can have great assurance in.
Notice that the apostle Paul writes Grace be unto you and peace.
You see the grace of God that bringeth salvation and delieverance also brings the peace of God with it.When we have found newness of life through Christ,we can rejoice in the fact that we are not God's enemy we are considered a friend of God like faithful Abraham.
We can go through hard places in life and keep our composure because we are at rest with God.We will face trials and tribualations in this life but the same grace that saves us also keeps us at rest,though outer circumstances are less than pleasant.
If we truly have bible grace and beloved of The Lord salvation is all of grace or none of grace,when we have this grace at work in our lives the peace of God is also at work in our lives as well.
To experience the soverign grace of God, is to be at rest with God even through trials and heartaches and harships.
