How do we know that God's grace leads to forgiveness?

Answered in 1 source

God's grace leads to forgiveness through the completed work of Christ, who sacrificed Himself for our sins.

The certainty of God's grace leading to forgiveness can be found in the finished work of Christ on the cross. Romans 5:8 states, 'But God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.' This establishes that forgiveness stems not from our merit but from God's unmerited favor towards us. Furthermore, the doctrine of predestination, as seen in Ephesians 1:4-5, asserts that believers were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless, reinforcing that our forgiveness is a result of God’s sovereign grace throughout history. Such doctrines assure believers that their acceptance and forgiveness are secured in the eternal plan of God rather than their own actions.
