Grace and Peace to You

Paul first anchors them in their identity of what god declares them to be, whether their behaviour matches that declaration or not. But now he's going to go even further. To our surprise, he's not lay into him yet for their problems. He says, i give thanks to my god always for you because of the grace of god that was given you in christ jesus. Andn of course, concludes the way that this introduction n the way he does with menny, where he says, grace and peace to you. This is what he wants to lead with. Want to stend gracea and peace to this church.
