Grace and Peace

"John to the seven churches which are in Asia:Grace be unto you,and peace,from Him which is,and which was,and which is to come;and from the seven Spirits which are before His throne"(verse 4).The common need among all the redeemed is Grace And Peace.Without the grace of God we would all burn in hell.Without the peace of God in our hearts,We would all be miserable.Grace is the source of all blessing.Peace is the rightful and happy possession of every born again,blood-washed child of God(John 14:27).Grace and peace come by and through"Him which is,and which was,and which is to come."This clearly sets forth the eternal existence of Jehovah God.God is an eternal Spirit.God has always been,God always will be.Perhaps someone is saying,Rick,explain that.I thank God that I cannot explain it.If I could I would be as great as God is,and I am so happy that my God is greater in wisdom and in power than I am.I would not serve a God whom I could explain.I want a God who is greater than human explanation .I want a God who is too great to be defined in the language of man.God Is,God has always been,God always will be.God lives in the eternal present.The grace of God brought salvation down to man(Heb.2:9)and it is only through the grace of God that we have peace with God(Rom.5:1). In this verse,John mentions"the seven Spirits which are before His throne". Please read Isaiah 11:1-5 in connection with this,and we will discuss it more completely a little later in the study.God bless!!!
