We know forgiveness is true because the Bible asserts it directly and assures us through the blood of Jesus that all iniquities are cleansed.
The truth of divine forgiveness is grounded in Scripture, where we find definitive assertions regarding the merciful nature of God. For instance, Psalm 130 expresses a powerful conviction that despite our iniquities, there is forgiveness with God—a theme reflected throughout the Old and New Testaments. In 1 John 1:7, we are reminded that 'the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanseth us from all sin.' This relationship illustrates the assurance we have that no sin is too great to be forgiven through faith in Christ. The Holy Spirit works within us to confirm this truth, helping us not only to understand but to experience God's forgiveness personally.
