Knowledge Fuels Grace
Commentators unanimously agree that Peter is not just offering a standard greeting. He teaches that God's grace and peace are not static but can be multiplied in a believer's life. The key to this increase is a growing, deepening knowledge of God and Jesus Christ. As one scholar notes, the more we know of God, the more our enjoyment of grace and peace will be multiplied.
