How do we know that God’s forgiveness is unconditional?

Answered in 2 sources

God's forgiveness is unconditional because it is based solely on His grace and the atoning work of Christ, as stated in Ephesians 1:7.

The unconditional aspect of God's forgiveness stems from His grace and the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. Ephesians 1:7 confirms that 'in Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.' This clearly illustrates that our forgiveness is not contingent upon our actions or merit but is a gift from God rooted in His love and mercy. The doctrine of imputation explains that Christ took upon Himself our debt, allowing us to stand righteous before God. This understanding dispels the notion that our forgiveness could be earned or deserved, reinforcing that it is a gracious gift from a just God who must act in accordance with His holiness.
