How can we trust in God's love and forgiveness?

Answered in 1 source

We can trust in God's love and forgiveness because He sees us in Christ and our sins are covered by His blood.

The foundation of our trust in God's love and forgiveness lies in the finished work of Christ, who was manifested to take away our sins (1 John 3:5). As believers, our standing before God is not based on our own righteousness, which is flawed, but on Christ's perfect, spotless righteousness. In Christ, we are fully pardoned and accepted by God, which provides us with unwavering assurance of His love. This understanding is crucial, especially when we wrestle with feelings of inadequacy or guilt. Remembering that God sees us through the lens of Christ’s sacrifice empowers us to rest in His love and embrace the full assurance of our forgiveness.
