After Paul's salutation,3. and thanksgiving for the Ephesians, 4. he treats of our election, 6. and adoption by grace; 11. which is the true and proper fountain of man's salvation. 13. And because the height of this mystery cannot be easily attained unto, 16. he prays that they may come to the full knowledge and possession thereof in Christ. Grace and peace The phrase "Grace and peace" is a common salutation in Paul's epistles, reflecting a deep theological significance. "Grace" (Greek: "charis") refers to the unmerited favor and love of God towards humanity. It is the foundation of Christian salvation, emphasizing that it is not by works but by God's grace that believers are saved. "Peace" (Greek: "eirēnē") signifies not just the absence of conflict but a profound sense of well-being and wholeness that comes from being reconciled with God. This peace is a result of the grace received through faith in Jesus Christ. Historically, this greeting would resonate with both Jewish and Gentile audiences, as "peace" (Hebrew: "shalom") was a traditional Jewish greeting, while "grace" was a common Greek salutation. Together, they encapsulate the essence of the Gospel message. to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ (2 a.) In Ephesians 1:3-6, the first section of the Introduction, the Epistle ascends at once into "the heavenly places," naturally catching therefrom the tone of adoration and thanksgiving. It dwells on the election of the children of God by His predestinating love--an election based on His will, designed for His glory, and carrying with it the blessings of the Spirit, through which they become holy and unblamable before Him. On the whole section comp. Romans 8:28-30. Verse 2. - Grace unto you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. As in most of Paul's Epistles, "grace" is virtually the first word and the last (Ephesians 6:24), equivalent to free, undeserved mercy in all its manifold forms and manifestations. This Epistle is so full of the subject, that it has been called "The Epistle of Grace." The apostle dwells more fully on it than even in the Epistle to the Romans, and with a more jubilant sense of its richness and sufficiency. Peace is conjoined with grace; they are like mother and daughter, or like twin sisters. Grace is the only foundation of true peace - whether peace with God, peace of conscience, rest and satisfaction of soul, or peace toward our fellow-men. The source of grace and peace is "God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." The two are always in apposition as the Source of blessing, never in opposition. The notion is eminently unscriptural that the Father personally burned with anger until the Son rushed in to appease; both are in beautiful harmony in the scheme of grace. "God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son," etc.Parallel Commentaries ...
