How do we know that believers are forgiven for Christ's sake?

Answered in 1 source

Believers know they are forgiven for Christ's sake because Scripture explicitly states that their sins are forgiven due to Christ's atoning work, not their own merits.

The assurance of forgiveness for believers is grounded in scriptural affirmation, particularly in 1 John 2:12, where it states that 'your sins are forgiven you for His name's sake.' This underscores that forgiveness is granted not based on the intrinsic worth of the believer, but solely through the grace of God manifested in Christ's sacrificial death. As believers, our sins — past, present, and future — are removed, affirming that there is no sin that can be brought before God concerning those for whom Christ died, illustrating the unfathomable depth of God's grace.
