Paul says hello and cannot stop there.
He sets out to write a greeting, grace to you and peace, and before the sentence is over he has told the whole gospel. Four answers to one question: how far did God go to rescue you?
He gave Himself. That is the price. To deliver us from this present evil age. That is the prison. According to the will of our God and Father. That is the plan. To whom be glory forever and ever. That is the praise.
He paid a price you could not pay, broke a prison you could not break, on a plan you did not make. Stop trying to earn a rescue that is already finished.
