What are the means of attaining forgiveness?

Answered in 1 source

The means of attaining forgiveness involve conviction of sin and confession before God (1 John 1:9).

The means by which we receive forgiveness include the work of the Holy Spirit in convicting us of our sins and leading us to confession. 1 John 1:9 assures us that if we confess our sins, God is faithful to forgive us. This means that genuine acknowledgment of our sinfulness, coupled with a heartfelt expression of trust in Christ, is essential for receiving the forgiveness that has been made available to us through His sacrifice. This process requires honesty before God, recognizing our inability to save ourselves and relying wholly on His grace.
