I Thessalonians 1:1

"Paul, Silvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ; grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." (I Thessalonians 1:1)

Paul, Silas and Timothy worked together to plant the Church at Thessalonica.

Notice that twice in this verse there is a close linking of God the Father and Jesus. The Apostle Paul believed in the divinity of Jesus. Paul also calls Jesus, Lord and Christ, that is, Messiah.

Grace is God's favor that we do not deserve.

Peace means more than an absence of conflict. It means wholeness, soundness and prosperity.
