How do we know that God forgives sin freely?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God's forgiveness is granted freely, without any need for reparations from the sinner.

God's ability to forgive sin freely, without requiring reparations from the forgiven, is a significant aspect of His grace. In Micah 7:18-19, we find the declaration that God pardons iniquity and delights in mercy, showing His willingness to forgive without any conditions. This divine attribute stands in stark contrast to human tendencies to seek restitution for offenses. The New Testament reinforces this by affirming that justification and forgiveness come solely through the grace of Christ, emphasizing that our atonement is based on His sacrifice, not our works or offerings. Understanding this divine mercy encourages believers to approach God with faith, resting in His promise of forgiveness.
