How do we know that God's forgiveness is genuine?

Answered in 1 source

God's forgiveness is genuine as it is rooted in His immutable character and demonstrated through the blood of Jesus.

The authenticity of God's forgiveness can be confidently affirmed through both His character and the sacrificial work of Christ. The forgiveness provided by God is not arbitrary; it is based on His justice, holiness, and love. Romans 3:26 tells us that God is 'just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.' This teaches us that forgiveness comes at a cost—Christ bore our sins on the cross, providing a basis for our redemption and relationship with God. Through faith in Jesus and the acknowledgment of our sins, we become recipients of this precious grace. Furthermore, 1 John 1:9 assures us that 'if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.' This indicates that God's promise of forgiveness is reliable and rooted in His faithful and just nature.
