Galatians 1:3-4

Grace to you and peace (inner calm and spiritual well-being) from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself (as a sacrifice to atone) for our sins ( to save and sanctify us) so that He might rescue us from this present evil age, in accordance with the will and purpose and plan of our God and Father.

Jesus was sent to rescue us from the present evil age. Without salvation through Jesus Christ, our hearts would feel fear and confusion. Jesus is our rock and foundation and ever-present help. To make sound decisions, we need the peace and calm that Jesus and the Word provide.
