How do we know God is willing to forgive our sins?
Answered in 1 source
God's willingness to forgive is demonstrated through His Word and the sacrifice of Christ.
We know that God is willing to forgive our sins because scripture reveals His character as merciful and gracious. In Psalm 51, David expresses confidence in God's willingness to forgive when he cries out, 'Wash me throughly from mine iniquity.' This prayer signifies that God would not prompt such a plea if He were unwilling to grant forgiveness. Moreover, in the New Testament, the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross serves as the ultimate assurance of God's willingness to forgive. Acts 13:39 states that through Him, everyone who believes is freed from all sin, confirming that God's grace is sufficient for all who sincerely repent.
