REVELATION 1:4-6

GOD'S MESSAGE THROUGH JOHN 
"John to the seven churches which are in Asia
["unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea" - Rev. 1:11]:
 THE FATHER
Grace be unto you, and peace, from Him which IS, and which WAS, and which IS TO COME ["The eternal God is thy refuge . . . " - Deut. 33:27; "Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love Me, he will keep My words: and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him" - Jn. 14:23];
 THE HOLY SPIRIT
and from the seven Spirits which are before His throne
["And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of Wisdom and (the Spirit of)Understanding, the Spirit of Counsel and (the Spirit of) Might, the Spirit of Knowledge and of the (Spirit of) Fear of the LORD" - Isa. 11:2];
 THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON
and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness,
["And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True . . . " - Rev. 19:11].
THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE
and the first begotten of the dead
["But every man in his own order: Christ the first fruits . . . " - 1 Cor. 15:23],
THE PRINCE OF PEACE
and the Prince of the kings of the earth
["For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given . . . The Prince of Peace" - Isa. 9:6].
NO BLOOD - NO REMISSION OF SIN
Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood
["In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins" - Col. 1:14],
WE WILL BE HIS SERVANTS
And hath made us kings and priests unto God and His Father
["And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth" - Rev. 5:10];
HIS GRACE - HIS GLORY
to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever.  Amen"
["For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:  not of works, lest any man should boast" - Eph. 2:8-9]!
