How do we know that there is forgiveness with God?

The assurance of God's forgiveness is rooted in Scripture, particularly highlighted in Psalm 130:4, which declares that with God there is forgiveness. This promise is further supported throughout the Bible, where God's mercy is emphasized as available for His people. The message of the Gospel presents the means of this forgiveness through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The believer's confidence in the forgiveness is not based on their merit, but on God's faithful character and the completed work of Christ on the cross, which secures eternal forgiveness for all whom He has chosen.
