VIII. MAIN BODY:
A. Grace and Peace from GOD, the FATHER
"Grace and spiritual blessing be to you and [soul] peace from God the Father"
Grace is freely given to all of us, and as a gift, we don't deserve it at all.
Acts 11:23 (Amplified Bible)
When he arrived and saw what grace (favor) God was bestowing upon them, he was full of joy; and he continuously exhorted (warned, urged, and encouraged) them all to cleave unto and remain faithful to and devoted to the Lord with [resolute and steady] purpose of heart.
This same grace empowers men for service.
1 Corinthians 15:10 (Amplified Bible)
But by the grace (the unmerited favor and blessing) of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not [found to be] for nothing (fruitless and without effect). In fact, I worked harder than all of them [the apostles], though it was not really I, but the grace (the unmerited favor and blessing) of God which was with me.
This same grace enables men to live simple lives.
2 Corinthians 1:12 (Amplified Bible)
It is a reason for pride and exultation to which our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world [generally] and especially toward you, with devout and pure motives and godly sincerity, not in fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God (the unmerited favor and merciful kindness by which God, exerting His holy influence upon souls, turns them to Christ, and keeps, strengthens, and increases them in Christian virtues).
GOD's Peace, Genuine peace of CHRIST not anyone else's peace. Peace that passes all understanding.
Romans 8:6 (Amplified Bible)
Now the mind of the flesh [which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit] is death [death that comprises all the miseries arising from sin, both here and hereafter]. But the mind of the [Holy] Spirit is life and [soul] peace [both now and forever].
John 14:27 (Amplified Bible)
Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]
John 16:33 (Amplified Bible)
I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]
Philippians 4:7 (Amplified Bible)
And God’s peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
B. The LORD JESUS CHRIST gave Himself for our sins
"and our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah), who gave (yielded) Himself up [to atone] for our sins [and to save and sanctify us]"
The LORD JESUS CHRIST removed sin, and He knew this might stop us from having an eternal life (live the fullest life to the full) with Him, so He did what He can do, the impossible things for GOD, and possible things for us, is to serve Him with a clean heart knowing that our hearts are cleansed because of Him.
1 Peter 2:24 (Amplified Bible)
He personally bore our sins in His [own] body on the tree [as on an altar and offered Himself on it], that we might die (cease to exist) to sin and live to righteousness. By His wounds you have been healed.
1 John 2:2 (Amplified Bible)
And He [that same Jesus Himself] is the propitiation (the atoning sacrifice) for our sins, and not for ours alone but also for [the sins of] the whole world.
1 Corinthians 15:3 (Amplified Bible)
For I passed on to you first of all what I also had received, that Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for our sins in accordance with [what] the Scriptures [foretold],
Galatians 1:4 (Amplified Bible)
Who gave (yielded) Himself up [to atone] for our sins [and to save and sanctify us], in order to rescue and deliver us from this present wicked age and world order, in accordance with the will and purpose and plan of our God and Father—
C. The LORD JESUS CHRIST rescued us from the present evil age
"in order to rescue and deliver us from this present wicked age and world order"
The LORD JESUS CHRIST rescued us from the following:
1. Indignation and wrath of GOD.
Romans 5:9 (Amplified Bible)
Therefore, since we are now justified (acquitted, made righteous, and brought into right relationship with God) by Christ’s blood, how much more [certain is it that] we shall be saved by Him from the indignation and wrath of God.
1 Thessalonians 5:9 (Amplified Bible)
For God has not appointed us to [incur His] wrath [He did not select us to condemn us], but [that we might] obtain [His] salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)
1 Thessalonians 1:10 (Amplified Bible)
And [how you] look forward to and await the coming of His Son from heaven, Whom He raised from the dead—Jesus, Who personally rescues and delivers us out of and from the wrath [bringing punishment] which is coming [upon the impenitent] and draws us to Himself [investing us with all the privileges and rewards of the new life in Christ, the Messiah].
2. Temptations and trials
2 Peter 2:8-9 (Amplified Bible)
For that just man, living [there] among them, tortured his righteous soul every day with what he saw and heard of [their] unlawful and wicked deeds—
Now if [all these things are true, then be sure] the Lord knows how to rescue the godly out of temptations and trials, and how to keep the ungodly under chastisement until the day of judgment and doom,
if temptations and trials came from GOD, then why would He deliver us from something that came from Him, something to think about, for temptations and trials came not from GOD but from sinful desires yielding itself up to sin.
James 1:13-14 (Amplified Bible)
Let no one say when he is tempted, I am tempted from God; for God is incapable of being tempted by [what is] evil and He Himself tempts no one.
But every person is tempted when he is drawn away, enticed and baited by his own evil desire (lust, passions).
On the other hand, everything that came from GOD, the FATHER are all good and perfect.
James 1:17 (Amplified Bible)
Every good gift and every perfect (free, large, full) gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of all [that gives] light, in [the shining of] Whom there can be no variation [rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [as in an eclipse].
Jeremiah 29:11 (Amplified Bible)
For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.
It all pleases GOD to do us good. GOD the FATHER will not let the day passed without doing something good for us and they are numerous and cannot be counted.
3. Control and dominion of darkness
Colossians 1:13-14 (Amplified Bible)
[The Father] has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and the dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,
In Whom we have our redemption through His blood, [which means] the forgiveness of our sins.
D. It's the will of our GOD and FATHER
"in accordance with the will and purpose and plan of our God and Father"
Matthew 26:39 (Amplified Bible)
And going a little farther, He threw Himself upon the ground on His face and prayed saying, My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will [not what I desire], but as You will and desire.
Matthew 26:42 (Amplified Bible)
Again a second time He went away and prayed, My Father, if this cannot pass by unless I drink it, Your will be done.
It's GOD, the FATHER's will that His Only Begotten Son is to die and to be punished in our place not us. What love!!
E. To whom be glory forever and ever
"To Him [be ascribed all] the glory through all the ages of the ages and the eternities of the eternities! Amen (so be it)"
John 17:4 (Amplified Bible)
I have glorified You down here on the earth by completing the work that You gave Me to do.
1 Peter 4:11 (Amplified Bible)
Whoever speaks, [let him do it as one who utters] oracles of God; whoever renders service, [let him do it] as with the strength which God furnishes abundantly, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ (the Messiah). To Him be the glory and dominion forever and ever (through endless ages). Amen (so be it).
Completion of GOD's Redeeming Grace on the cross of Calvary brings GOD,the GLORY due Him. And the Glory is already His, that's why we only bring it to Him.

Our hero and rescuer is GOD the FATHER
