How do we know that faith leads to forgiveness?

Answered in 1 source

Faith in Jesus is pivotal for forgiveness, as demonstrated in Matthew 9:2 where He forgives the sins of the paralyzed man upon seeing their faith.

The principle that faith leads to forgiveness is vividly illustrated in Matthew 9:2, where Jesus acknowledges the faith of the friends of a paralyzed man, stating, 'Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.' This declaration reveals that where there is genuine faith in Christ, there follows assurance of forgiveness. Faith is the means by which individuals receive God's mercy and grace, highlighting the connection and necessity of belief in Christ for the remission of sins, as all who trust in Him are forgiven fully, permanently, and perpetually.
