Ephesians 1:1-2
How do you greet other people? This is a serious question that deserves consideration. Some may use ‘Hi,” or the more casual “Hey,” or perhaps combined with the question “What’s going on?” We may not think of words as having power, but they do. The words we chose to greet others with will set the tone for the conversation. In Ephesians 1:1-2 Paul opens the letter to the Ephesians by greeting them with grace and peace. By themselves these words contain powerful truths. When used in combination they remind us that we have been given the undeserved gift of salvation so we can have peace with God. Grace is the foundation of salvation that brings peace between God and sinners. Grace also guides believers to live at peace with others. We do not have to look hard to see people and countries in turmoil as they seek solutions to their life problems without God. Our world desperately needs peace with God and others. They will only see grace and hear peace through us as we carry God’s life giving message of salvation to them. Greetings… grace to you and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:2).
