Bond Servant of Christ Jesus



Romans 1:7 
7. beloved of God—(Compare De 33:12; Col 3:12).

Grace, &c.—(See on Jn 1:14).

and peace—the peace which Christ made through the blood of His cross (Col 1:20), and which reflects into the believing bosom “the peace of God which passeth all understanding” (Php 4:7).

from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ—“Nothing speaks more decisively for the divinity of Christ than these juxtapositions of Christ with the eternal God, which run through the whole language of Scripture, and the derivation of purely divine influences from Him also. The name of no man can be placed by the side of the Almighty. He only, in whom the Word of the Father who is Himself God became flesh, may be named beside Him; for men are commanded to honor Him even as they honor the Father (Jn 5:23)” [OLSHAUSEN]
