How do we know that God's grace can forgive serious sins like murder?

Answered in 1 source

God's grace is demonstrated through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, who paid the penalty for all sins.

The certainty of God’s grace in forgiving serious sins is rooted in the redemptive work of Christ. Romans 5:8 states, 'But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.' The principle of imputed righteousness is foundational; believers are not only forgiven but also counted righteous because of Christ's obedience (Romans 4). David exemplifies this through his psalms, recognizing his need for grace after committing heinous sins. Similarly, the apostle Paul calls himself the chief of sinners yet affirms that Christ came to save sinners, underscoring that grace extends even to those who feel the weight of their guilt most deeply.
