How does grace and peace relate to salvation?

In the opening of Paul’s letters, including Colossians 1:2, grace and peace are greeting terms that signify the essence of Christian salvation. Grace refers to the unmerited favor bestowed by God, enabling sinners to be made right with Him through Jesus Christ. Peace, a result of that grace, signifies the reconciliation believers have with God, leading to a restored relationship. Together, they encapsulate the heart of the gospel message: through Christ, believers are not only justified but are also brought into a state of tranquility and fellowship with their Creator, a profound aspect of their salvation experience.
