How are sins forgiven according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Sins are forgiven through faith in Jesus Christ, who is the means by which God offers reconciliation and redemption.

The forgiveness of sins is a central tenet of Christian belief, emphasized throughout Scripture. Acts 13:38 states, 'Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins.' This underscores that forgiveness comes through faith in Christ, who is our substitute and the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world (John 1:29). The doctrine of justification by faith teaches that we are declared righteous before God not by our merit but by Christ's righteousness imputed to us. This means that true assurance of forgiveness is found solely in understanding and believing the work of Christ on our behalf, as He paid the penalty for sin through His death and resurrection.
