How do we know that God has forgiven our sins?

The assurance of our forgiveness is rooted in the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. As stated in Psalm 85, God has forgiven the iniquity of His people and covered all their sin. This is further clarified in the New Testament where it emphasizes that Jesus’ blood was shed for the remission of our sins. In Hebrews 10, it assures us that God remembers our sins no more, signifying that complete atonement has been made. Therefore, the believer can rest in the assurance that their sins are forgiven, through faith in Christ, who took upon Himself the wrath that we deserved.
