How do we know we are truly forgiven for our sins?

The assurance of forgiveness is central to the Christian faith and is rooted in the work of Jesus Christ. The sermon explains that while all believers acknowledge their sinfulness, the critical step is receiving forgiveness through faith, which makes it personal and transformative. Jesus’ sacrificial death and resurrection provide a foundation for this forgiveness—He paid the ultimate price for our sins. Believers must affirm that Christ is their Savior, not merely in a general sense but personally, claiming Him as their Redeemer. This is consistent with the teachings of Scripture, emphasizing that without faith, one cannot access the grace and mercy offered through Christ.
