Based on the same root as charis, charizomai means to forgive. This is an act of pardoning, which should prompt gratitude on behalf of the person being forgiven, reflecting the graciousness of the person doing the pardoning. God is said to charizomai our sins, pardoning us from the ultimate consequence of sin: eternal death.
