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

Answered in 3 sources

God's forgiveness is assured through His Word, as seen in His promise not to impute sin to those in Christ.

The certainty of God's forgiveness is rooted in His unchanging nature and the work of Christ on our behalf. In 2 Corinthians 5:21, we see that God made Christ to be sin for us so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. This transaction illustrates the completeness of forgiveness; our sins are not merely overlooked but are justly punished in Christ. Romans 8:1 reinforces this assurance by declaring that there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, affirming that believers are no longer subject to judgment for their sins because they have been covered by Christ's sacrifice. The importance of knowing this truth cannot be overstated, as it encourages believers to live in confidence and gratitude for God's grace.
