We are assured of our forgiveness in Christ through His sacrificial death, which satisfies God's justice and fully atones for our sins.
The certainty of our forgiveness is rooted in the redemptive work of Christ, who bore our sins on the cross. Psalm 103 assures us that God forgives all our iniquities, demonstrating His grace and mercy toward us. This forgiveness is complete and eternal, as conveyed in Ephesians 1:7, where we learn we have redemption and forgiveness through Christ's blood. It indicates God’s grace toward us, not based on our merits but solely on the finished work of Christ. This assurance fosters peace in believers, knowing that our sins have been removed as far as the east is from the west, and we stand justified before God.
