Psalm 32

Psalm 32:1
How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,
Whose sin is covered!
This is a very simple statement, yet very powerful.  This could be the foreword to the entire New Testament.  This is an excellent summation of the reason many put their faith in Christ.  He took the penalty we could not pay, and extended its benefit to us.

Because of that sacrifice, our sins our covered.  Our transgressions are forgiven.  God can once again look upon us with joy, because we are not acceptable.  Christ has taken the transgressions and sins upon himself, so that we don't have to.  He has given us the opportunity to truly know God once again, for the first time since Eden.  How blessed we are because of that.
