Our sins are forgiven through the completed sacrifice of Jesus Christ, whose blood cleanses us from all unrighteousness.
The assurance of forgiveness comes from Scripture, which states that without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins. Christ’s sacrifice has purged our consciences from dead works, allowing us to stand accepted before God not based on our own merits, but entirely on the righteousness imputed to us through faith in His finished work. This doctrine of imputed righteousness assures believers that their sins have been fully paid for by Christ, ensuring they will not face condemnation.
