1 Timothy 1:2 To Timothy my true son in the faith: Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
2 Timothy 1:2 To Timothy, my dear son: Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
2 John 1:3 Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Father’s Son, will be with us in truth and love.
It’s interesting to see grace, mercy, and peace be at the beginning of these letters. Could it be that the early Christian magnified something we often minimize?
*Grace. Grace is the God given ability to do something we cannot do on our own. For example, it is by the grace of God we are saved, it is by grace we are made righteous, it is by the grace of God we receive the promises of God.
*Mercy. Mercy is the reason why we’re not all dead, ill, and hell bound. It was Jesus Who died for us and placed His blood on the mercy seat of God. Through the blood of Jesus, we can now receive God’s mercy. Anytime we miss the mark, God looks at the blood of Jesus on the mercy seat and grants us mercy. His mercy is endless.
*Peace. When we know we have God’s ability on top of our human ability (grace) and we receive God’s mercy for every deliberate or unintentional sin we commit, we can live in peace. In any situation we can count on God’s ability to get the job done and receive mercy along the way therefore, we have peace.
Receive and walk in this grace, mercy, and peace that is freely available to all believers.
