How do we know forgiveness is possible?

Answered in 1 source

Forgiveness is possible because God delights in mercy and covers our sins through Christ's sacrifice.

Psalm 32 emphasizes not only the blessing of being forgiven but also the means by which forgiveness is granted. God forgives sins because it is His nature to delight in mercy, as shown in Hebrews 8:12, where it is stated, 'For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.' This speaks to the complete removal of sin through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, who bore our sins and provided the ultimate covering. It affirms that true forgiveness is not merely an act of overlooking sin but is grounded in the justice being satisfied by Christ’s atonement.
