Grace & Peace go hand in hand!

Looking at some believers we might be led to think that confrontation, conflict and contention are our divine calling from God. Their marital lives, their relationships with others, their ministries – even their own hearts – appear filled with discord, strife and fighting. This may indeed be the normal course of some; but it’s not our calling as believers. The fact is that ours is a calling of peace!

… But God has called us to peace (I Corinthians 7:15).

Peace is the divine complement of grace. “Grace and peace” are what this dispensation is all about. This is why Paul begins each and every one of his letters with “Grace and peace.”

Grace to you and peace (Romans 1:7).
Grace be to you, and peace (I Corinthians 1:3).
Grace be to you and peace (II Corinthians 1:2).
Grace be to you and peace (Galatians 1:3).
Grace be to you, and peace (Ephesians 1:2).
Grace be to you, and peace (Philippians 1:2).
Grace be to you, and peace (Colossians 1:2).
Grace be to you, and peace (I Thessalonians 1:1).
Grace to you, and peace (II Thessalonians 1:2).
Grace, mercy, and peace (I Timothy 1:2).
Grace, mercy, and peace (II Timothy 1:2).
Grace, mercy, and peace (Titus 1:4).
Grace to you, and peace (Philemon 1:3).

After all, He’s not only the “God of all grace” (I Peter 5:10); He’s the “God of peace” as well!

… The God of peace … (Romans 15:33).
… The God of peace … (Romans 16:20).
… The very God of peace … (I Thessalonians 5:23).
