Philippians 1:2

“Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ”

“Grace”: God's unmerited favor, and since these people are "in Christ Jesus", such grace is available to them (Ephesians 1:3). “Peace”: “But it never means. negative peace, never simply the absence of trouble. It means total well-being, everything that makes for. man's highest good” (Barclay p. 12). “Grace expressing God's love to man, and peace the condition resulting there from” (Vincent p. 416). “From God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ”: “There is no grace except in God, and no real peace except that which flows from God” (Muller p. 36). We should note that real peace is impossible without the grace of God. As long as our sins remain unforgiven, real peace is an impossibility (Ephesians 2:13). Since Jesus is connected with the giving of these spiritual gifts, including the grace of God, it infers that Jesus is also. Divine Being. Of course, the word "Lord" is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew word "Jehovah".
