“May God give you more and more grace and peace as you grow in https://tomstuart.org/2020/02/03/more-grace-and-peace/ ur knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord.” 2 Peter 1:2 NLT
Given
the twists and turns of life, the trials and temptations, our weaknesses and
failures, if there is one thing we all need it’s MORE GRACE AND PEACE.
Inseparable,
like some great cause and effect, we see the power of abounding grace to beget
a reconciling peace, as evidenced in the life of Peter who penned this prayer. Jesus’
gracious forgiveness of Peter’s betrayal forever sealed in his heart the peace
to carry on.
That
is why the prayer for “grace and peace” is the most frequent greeting
used in the Epistles of Paul and John also, and we would do well to believe and
receive it for ourselves again today.
