How do we know the forgiveness of sins is true?

Answered in 1 source

We know the forgiveness of sins is true because it is based on the shed blood of Christ, which satisfies God's justice.

The truth of the forgiveness of sins rests upon the completed work of Jesus Christ on the cross. Ephesians 1:7 states that our forgiveness is 'through his blood,' underscoring the theological principle that only through the shedding of blood can sin be atoned for. 1 John 1:7 reinforces this by proclaiming that 'the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanseth us from all sin.' This means that forgiveness is not conditional upon human efforts like confession or repentance, but is a direct result of Christ's sacrifice, showing God's faithfulness and justice in granting pardon. Thus, the forgiveness of sins is not a subjective feeling but a definitive act grounded in historical reality and divine decree.
