Grace, mercy, peace from God the Father and Jesus Christ, the Savior of all men

[irenic-inkwell]

Greetings from a fellow traveler:  irenic-inkwell

iren (Greek eirene Peace) ic  In Christ      Peace in Christ
inkwell:  I travel light-- pen, ink, notebook; hopefully planting seeds of peace, by sharing Bible verses and/or experiences of great peace (His peace) and gathering seeds of peace from those I meet on the Internet (Christian forums especially)...

NT
2 John 1:3
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.

James 3:18 (AMP)
And the harvest of righteousness (of conformity to God's will in thought and deed) is [the fruit of the seed] sown in peace by those who work for and make peace [in themselves and in others, that peace which means concord, agreement, and harmony between individuals, with undisturbedness, in a peaceful mind free from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts].


OT
Psalm 85: 10-12
v 10   Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed.
v  11  Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
v 12   Yes, the Lord shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
=======================
from my notebook -- notes I copied from Jamieson-Fausett-Brown commentary
grace...mercy...peace:  "Grace" covers the sins of men; "mercy," their miseries.  Grace must first do away with man's guilt before his misery can be relieved by mercy.  Therefore grace stands before mercy.  Peace is the result of both, and therefore stands third in order.  Casting all our care on the Lord with thanksgiving, maintains this peace. 

in truth and love:  The element or sphere in which alone grace, mercy, and peace, have place.
