There are many wonderful things which happen to a person at the moment they place their trust in Jesus Christ as their Savior.
I heard once that someone counted 51 such things! After searching a while I found that a man named Jim Brettell had catalogued just such a list on www.markkwilliamson.com. I’ve posted them here rather than simply referring you to that site, because we have this cool little feature where the Bible verses will show up if you hover over the reference!
This is a great list to refer to often. One of the greatest struggles in the Christian life is remembering our identity in Christ. There is great practical value in meditating on these things which were accomplished for you by Christ and imputed to you at the moment of your belief in Him as your personal Savior.
