“grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.”
Galatians 1:3-5 KJV
Grace was not a “message” that Paul taught, it was the way he dealt with deceived people, “May God’s undeserved kindness and total well-being that flow from our Father God and from the Lord Jesus be yours. He’s the Anointed One who offered himself as the sacrifice for our sins! He has rescued us from this evil world system and set us free, just as our Father God desired. May all the glory be to God alone, throughout time and eternity. Amen!” Even over the confused churches that were mixing works and grace, Paul spoke words of blessing and peace. Peace for the Hebrew mindset means “health, prosperity, peace and total well-being”. The “evil world system” would include the religious system that is based on duty and performance instead of love and grace. When we learn to release “undeserved kindness” and “well-being” over those who oppose us, perhaps then they will listen to us. When Christ has shown us such limitless kindness, why shouldn’t we show the same to others? Amen!
