Grace, Mercy, and Peace

In Paul's opening, we learn important information about the author himself as well as about Timothy, the young man receiving these words. Although this is addressed to Timothy, reading this letter benefits everyone for is was written with God's authority and contains powerful truths about who God is and who we are because of it. Specifically, the sermon addresses grace, mercy, and peace from God. Even though this section of scripture is short, it communicates that we are not irrelevant to God for he cares deeply for us and wants to save us.
