How do we know forgiveness of sins is true?

Answered in 6 sources

The truth of forgiveness lies in the sacrifice of Christ and God's faithful promise to forgive those who confess their sins.

Forgiveness of sins is grounded in the Gospel, which reveals how God, through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, has provided a way for us to be reconciled. In Daniel 9, Daniel's prayer for mercy is answered directly by God, pointing to the ultimate answer to sin: Christ crucified. The New Testament reaffirms that if we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us (1 John 1:9). This assurance is fulfilled through the finished work of Christ, who bore our sins and gives us everlasting righteousness by grace through faith.
