Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. 2 Peter 1:2
Grace: divine favor you cannot earn. Peace: contentment, assurance, reconciliation to God, freedom from fear and anxiety regarding our relationship to the Father. Grace always precedes Peace. When you receive grace, you can enjoy peace. If you want peace, you must receive grace, which is freely given to us through the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. There is no way to earn or deserve grace. God loves us and He knows how utterly helpless we are in our corrupted bodies. We didn't do anything to be sinners. Sin is in the dna of every human born since the disobedience of Adam, except the One born with no human father: Mary's firstborn, Jesus. Matthew 1:21, "she shall bring forth a son and you shall call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins." God is perfect in His essence. He is One God in three persons: Father, Son, Spirit. All God. All same essence. Different functions toward the creation. All love us, and by abundant Grace provide abundant Peace to those who come to know Who and What He is and what he has freely provided for us. Begging, grovelling, bargaining, trying to earn points will not bring peace! Bring your bucket to the well. RECEIVE Grace..Enjoy Peace. Forever.
