"Grace and Peace" Ephesians 1:1-2

Paul writes to the church at Ephesus and he begins by identifying himself as an apostle of Jesus Christ which gave him authority to instruct the church.  Then he reminds the believers that they are saints.  Those who have been sanctified by Jesus the Christ, set apart to God by the grace of the Lord and that always leads to peace.  It is to be at peace with God and have His peace in us.
