The need for grace and peace are clear in Paul’s opening greetings as he prays for them to have grace and peace from God. This only comes through Jesus Christ and what He has done. We are saved only by grace. Grace is God giving us all that we need when we did not deserve or earn it. Peace with God is crucial and necessary. This peace can only come when we deal with our sins, and the only way to deal with our sins is by faith in Jesus Christ.
