How do we know God's forgiveness is available to us?

Answered in 2 sources

God's forgiveness is assured in His Word, which states that He forgives all who call upon Him sincerely (Psalm 130:4).

The assurance of God's forgiveness is rooted in His character and the promises found in Scripture. Psalm 130:4 declares, 'There is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.' This verse emphasizes that forgiveness does not undermine God's holiness or justice; rather, it highlights His mercy. When we contemplate our sins against a holy God, we may feel overwhelmed, yet we find hope in the truth that God can justly forgive us because of the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. His redemptive work on the cross satisfies the demands of justice, allowing us to be freely forgiven while upholding God’s righteousness. This is the essence of sovereign grace—God’s grace freely given, not based on our merit but on the abundance of His mercy.
