Grace and Peace to You

Dearly Beloved, I trust this finds you well and bubbling in the Lord. Today, I draw on greetings from the apostles to the believers to pray that grace, favor, spiritual blessing, mercy and peace be yours, and increase to you from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ in Jesus name, amen.  

Galatians 1v3: “Grace and spiritual blessing be to you and [soul] peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah).”

Ephesians 1v2: “May grace (God’s unmerited favor) and spiritual peace [which means peace with God and harmony, unity, and undisturbedness] be yours from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Philippians 1v2: “Grace (favor and blessing) to you and [heart] peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah).”

Colossians 1v2: “To the saints (the consecrated people of God) and believing and faithful brethren in Christ who are at Colossae: Grace (spiritual favor and blessing) to you and [heart] peace from God our Father.”

1 Thessalonians 1v1: “Paul, Silvanus (Silas), and Timothy, to the assembly (church) f the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah): Grace (spiritual blessings and divine favor) to you and [heart] peace.”

1 Timothy 1v2: “To Timothy, my true son in the faith: Grace (spiritual blessing and favor), mercy, and [heart ] peace [be yours] from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.”

1 Peter 1v1-2: “Peter, an apostle (a special messenger) of Jesus Christ,  [writing] to the elect exiles of the dispersion scattered (sowed) abroad in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, Who were chosen and foreknown by God the Father and consecrated (sanctified, made holy) by the Spirit to be  obedient to Jesus Christ (the Messiah) and to be sprinkled with His blood: May grace (spiritual blessing) and peace be given you in increasing abundance [that spiritual peace to be realized in and through Christ, freedom from fears, agitating passions, and moral conflicts].”
