A Trinity of Blessings
Commentators explain that Jude's greeting is a 'trinity of blessings' with a logical flow. It begins with God's 'mercy' (His compassion and pardon), which establishes 'peace' (with God and within ourselves). This peace then allows 'love' (God's love for us and our love for Him and others) to flourish.
