How do we know God is faithful in forgiveness?

God's faithfulness in forgiveness is vividly expressed in 1 John 1:9, stating, 'If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.' This highlights that God is not only willing to forgive but is also just in doing so. Because Christ bore our sins, God maintains His justice while extending mercy. Thus, we can confidently trust that He will forgive all who come to Him in faith, demonstrating His unchanging fidelity in the redemptive work of Christ.
