How does one receive forgiveness according to the scriptures?

Answered in 1 source

Forgiveness is received through faith in the work of Christ who justifies the ungodly.

According to the scriptures, forgiveness is not something we can earn but is a gracious gift from God received through faith. Romans 4 makes it clear that Abraham was justified by faith, not by works, and this principle applies to all believers. When we look to Christ and believe in His finished work on the cross, our sins are forgiven, and we are made righteous in the sight of God. This transformational belief allows us to stand justified, as God's justice is satisfied through the death of Christ, making it possible for us to receive forgiveness and eternal life.
