Peace on Earth and mercy mild! God and sinner reconciled! Joyful all ye nations rise! Join the triumph of the skies!

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the Glory of God. And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

---Romans 5:1-5



Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.

---Romans 8:1-2



I can't really add much to this. It's hard to take in. Reconciliation. Peace. It's hard to take in.

"Few things make me soar like the idea of another righteousness imputed to me." - John Piper

To see the law by Christ fulfilled
To hear His pardoning voice
Changes a slave into a child
And duty to choice
