“peace” (shalom) is the customary Jewish greeting. In comparison, our “hello” is cheap and only means “surprise.” • The creed in the greeting. “Grace … peace” (1 Peter 1:2). “Grace” comes before “peace” in this greeting, and this sequence is true in salvation and in every area of life. You cannot have peace without grace. 1 Peter 1:3–12 Peter gives some extended instructions regarding salvation. The instructions detail some significant things involved in salvation and about salvation.
