God assures us of His forgiveness, as seen in promises throughout Scripture, including Psalm 51 and Isaiah's proclamations of His mercy.
The assurance of God's forgiveness is rooted in His character and the redemptive work of Christ. Psalm 51 illustrates David's plea for forgiveness and God's promise to blot out transgressions. God's forgiveness is not arbitrary; it is based on His lovingkindness and faithfulness to His covenant promises. In Isaiah 43:25, God explicitly states that He blots out our iniquities for His own sake and will not remember our sins. Thus, the assurance of salvation and forgiveness hinges on God's grace and the complete sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross.
