God's Greeting to His Saints

Summary

The sermon explores the greeting of grace and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ as found in Ephesians 1:1-2. It emphasizes that Paul, as an apostle, addresses the saints—believers set apart by faith in Christ—highlighting the transformative power of God's sovereign grace, which is spontaneous, unmerited favor bestowed upon those who do not meet expectations. The message reassures believers of their sanctification and justification through Jesus Christ and the peace that comes from harmony with God. Ultimately, it calls believers to recognize their identity as saints and to receive God's grace and peace as a personal greeting from Him.
