2 John 1:3

Peace to you my brothers and sisters.

Today’s Bible Verse: [2 John 1:3 KJV] Grace be with you, mercy, [and] peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

This was one of the “standard” greetings used by the apostles in their letters.

Notice the elements. Grace; God giving us what we do not deserve, mercy; God not giving us what we do deserve, and peace; salvation, are always part of the greeting.

These three elements are also part of the gospel. Because Jesus died for us, we have faith in this, and we have repented of our sin, we receive grace, mercy, and peace.

This is the gospel: [1 Corinthians 15:1-6 KJV] Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.

Go forth and spread this good news.

I hope this has been a blessing to you. May the rest of your day be blessed. Peace.
