How do we know that sin is forgiven?

Answered in 1 source

We know our sins are forgiven through faith in Jesus Christ, who bore our sins and provided complete atonement through His sacrifice.

Christ’s sacrifice is the basis for the forgiveness of sin, which is foundational to sovereign grace theology. When Jesus bore our sins on the cross, He took upon Himself the guilt and punishment that we deserve. This is articulated in passages like 2 Corinthians 5:21, which states, 'For our sake He made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.' Our assurance of forgiveness rests in the completed work of Christ, which frees us from guilt and the judgment of the law. By trusting in Him, we affirm the perfect justice of God as satisfied in Christ's atonement, as described in Romans 3:25. This comprehensive salvation grants believers a relationship with God devoid of condemnation.
