Romans 1:5-7
5 Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name, 6 among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ; 7 To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Paul knew his calling and the very grace of God meant obedience to the faith given to and exercised by him in Christ. He also acknowledged those in Rome who also were called by God, called out to the obedience of true holiness by being separated to God out of the world. So he pronounces that grace and God's peace from God as Father and Son upon these elect ones. The resurrected Christ brought out and bought out His people with divine power as planned and foretold. So is our certain hope as His saints, the elect of God in Christ Jesus.
