Gal 1:3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
Gal 1:4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
Gal 1:5 To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Another title might be"Glory to God the Father". How great is our heavenly father, that we may be called his sons and daughters through faith in his Son, by which we receive grace and peace. Grace is greater than mercy, because it gives to us a new heart, a new title and it enables us to follow Jesus by the power of God. Peace is the first thing we receive that confirms that he has given to us his grace and that we are become new in him, free of the condemnation of the devil.
In these short verses is the gospel, the good news that Jesus gave himself, who had no sins, to die as the legal payment for the pardoning of our sins. The penalty for sin was death and separation from God. He is risen from the tomb and has freely given to us the spirit of peace, being delivered from this present evil world. We are delivered into the hands of our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. This is the will of God for us from the beginning of the world. No matter what happens in this world our soul is safe with God. We freely give glory to God the Father, forever and ever, amen.
