2 The Believer’s Position in Christ

Paul’s apostolic authority confirmed and God the author of salvation, God the Father and the perfector, our Lord Jesus Christ. “Grace” expresses God’s steadfast unmerited love toward man and “peace” shows the relational state as a result of that grace. In other words after one believes by the Grace of God the peace of God enters our spirits and enables us to end the long war against God. Notice how the text introduces the first two persons of the Trinity. This will be followed by an introduction of the Holy Spirit, the third person in verses thirteen and fourteen. So the entire Godhead is present in the first chapter of this epistle.
