God's forgiveness is confirmed in His Word, particularly in 1 John 1:9, which assures us of His faithfulness to forgive.
We can know God forgives our sins through the promises laid out in Scripture. 1 John 1:9 explicitly tells us that if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins. This assurance is not based on our worthiness but on God's faithfulness to His word. Moreover, Romans 5:1 states that through faith in Christ, we have peace with God, indicating that forgiveness is a foundational truth in the Christian faith. Understanding that our sins were laid upon Christ at Calvary also reassures us of that forgiveness, as it is through His sacrifice that we are made right with God.
