How do we know our iniquities are pardoned?

The assurance of pardon for our iniquities is rooted in the perfect atonement made by Jesus Christ. According to Isaiah 40:2, God speaks comfortingly to His people, declaring that their warfare is accomplished and their iniquity is pardoned. This pardon is not conditional or temporary; it is complete and permanent, established through the sacrifice of Christ who bore our sins. The New Testament reaffirms this by stating that all who believe in Christ have their iniquities forgiven. Thus, understanding and believing in the redemptive work of Christ gives us the certainty that our sins are indeed pardoned.
