How do we know God's forgiveness is complete?

We can be assured of the completeness of God's forgiveness because justice has been satisfied in Christ's atoning sacrifice. The reality of this forgiveness is expressed in the assurance that God will not count any sin against those for whom Christ died. In fulfilling the law's demands, Christ's death means that, as believers, we are declared righteous in God's sight. This is encapsulated in Romans 4:8, which says, 'Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.'

Moreover, the teaching emphasizes that our relationship with God is based not on our works but solely on Christ’s righteousness. Even if we fall into sin repeatedly, God views us through the lens of Christ’s perfect fulfillment of the law. Thus, the assurance of absolute forgiveness is an integral part of the Gospel that provides believers with peace and confidence before God.
