mercy & Grace

Together, they are only in the New Testament.  Together, there are only 4 instances.  These are powerful references.  Three of the four times, they are part of a greeting.  Two of them are a greeting from Paul, one is from John.  The remaining instance is no surprise.  The author of Hebrews is teaching about it.  The verses speak for themselves.

1Tim. 1:2   To Timothy, my true son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

2Tim. 1:2   To Timothy, my beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

Heb. 4:16 Therefore let’s approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace for help at the time of our need.

2John 3 Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
Praise God!
