How do we know forgiveness of sin is true?

Answered in 1 source

Forgiveness of sin is confirmed through the Word of God, which assures us of Christ’s atonement for our sins.

The assurance of forgiveness comes from the scriptures that proclaim the sufficiency of Christ’s sacrifice. In 1 Timothy 1:15, Paul states that Christ came into the world to save sinners, declaring His intent and capacity to forgive. The act of Christ bearing our sins leads to the promise that God will not remember our iniquities anymore (Hebrews 8:12). This is not based on our works but on God’s sovereign grace and His covenant with His people. Believers are called to trust in the objective work of Christ for their forgiveness, recognizing that it is not dependent on our feelings but on His promises.
