How do we know God has forgiven us?

Assurance of forgiveness comes from our faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ, who was made sin for us and bore the punishment for our iniquities. It is through belief in His redemptive work that we can confidently assert that we are forgiven. The Scriptures affirm this, stating that for those who are in Christ, there is no condemnation (Romans 8:1). Furthermore, Psalm 130 reinforces this assurance by proclaiming the mercy and plentiful redemption found in God, encouraging believers to put their hope in Him.
