Summary - Paul starts off by introducing himself and who he works for (God). - Blesses them - grace & peace from God (grace comes first b4 peace) - Romans 5:1 (justification by faith= grace, which come 1st then peace), John 14:27- not as the world gives (conditional peace)- His type of peace allows us to be calm even in the midst of a storm cz He’s with us. - Blessed us with every spiritual gift in Christ- everything required for godliness and salvation and vs 4 emphasises what 3 is saying- God has willed for us to be blameless and holy before Him (even b4 the world was created) and has given us what we need in order for this to happen (spiritual blessings) and through Christ then adopts us as His own children (weren’t His b4- but redeemed) - Galatians 4:4—7- for His glory - In Jesus we have redemption by His blood (forgiveness of sins available) 1 Peter 1:18-19) according to the riches of His grace ( big grace- lots of it). - Revealing the mystery that Christ is for all 9-10 - 11-14 in Jesus, we have an inheritance (kingdom of God and all that comes with it- which we already have by faith) and we have the Holy Spirit as the gurantee of it. Till He finally takes us home - redemption of the purchased possession(us). 1 Peter 1:3-4 - 15-19he acknowledges their faithfulness and love for others and thanks God for them and prays for their increase and that they see and remember the spiritual blessings they have - 20 same power that was available to Christ, available to us too 😊 Romans 8:11 - the same sprig that raised Christ from the dead is in us 😊 - 21 Christ given authority over all - Christ reigns, above all - 22: psalms 8:6 says the same verse - 23- Christ the head of the body(church) 😊
