Romans 5: 1-2

"Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God"

Justify or Justified or Justification ; God's act of declaring or making a sinner righteous before God

Grace ; The free and unmerited favor or beneficence (gift) of God

Obtained ; To gain possession of

Unmerited ; Not deserved

We have been given this free gift by the sacrifice Jesus made, willingly laying down his life to pay for our sins. Romans 5:8 says "while we were still sinners" He - JESUS laid down his life so that his blood would blot out our transgressions (sin) being reconciled (having our sins paid for) unto God.

I'd say that give us MUCH to be thankful for! What about you?
