"Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God." (Romans 5:1-2)
When we come to realize the depth of our sin debt, we come to realize how wonderful the grace of God is. Because of His grace, we can be justifified through our faith in Jesus Christ as our Savior.
To be justified is to have our sin debt canceled in full. God does not hold us responsible for it any longer. Oh what peace comes when we realize what God has done for us. He could punish us for our sins, but instead He forgives our debt. What a precious gift this is. But along with this, we (by our faith), can stand in God's grace everyday of our lives. We can stand in His favor upon our lives, when we trust Him for victory in every battle we fight, in this life. His love, His strength, His insight is ours everyday we live, if we trust Him for it. Does it get any better than this? It causes us to rejoice and give thanks, for this hope that we have. We have the hope of the glory of God. Because of His grace we can look forward to that day when the temptations and trials of this life are long gone, and we will live in peace for eternity. Of all the things that we have to be thankful for, I believe that God's grace is the most important. Becuase, not only for everyday, but for eternity, what would we do without it?
