How do we know that God is ready to pardon sinners?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible reveals God as 'ready to pardon' through His actions and the sacrifices made by Jesus Christ for our redemption.

In Nehemiah 9:17, it states, 'thou art a God ready to pardon', highlighting God's nature as one that longs to forgive. This readiness is intrinsically linked to Christ’s atoning work, where through His blood, the barriers of sin are removed, allowing God's mercy to flow freely to repentant sinners. God's nature to forgive is established in the gospel message, which reassures us that upon genuine repentance, He is ever ready to extend His grace. David also affirms this in Psalm 86:5 when he claims, 'For You, Lord, are good and ready to forgive'. This characteristic of God is vital for Christians to understand, as it offers hope amid their struggles with sin.
