What does it mean that forgiveness is free?

Answered in 1 source

Forgiveness in Christ is free, meaning it cannot be earned or deserved; it is a gift of grace.

The concept of free forgiveness in the Christian faith emphasizes that it is provided by God's grace and is not contingent on any action or merit on our part. In the parable found in Luke 7, both debtors were unable to pay their debts, signifying that no one can earn forgiveness. Christ's forgiveness is unconditional and provided out of love, illustrating the principles of grace. This free offer is often difficult for individuals to grasp, as people tend to believe they must do something to deserve forgiveness; however, the essence of the gospel is that everyone is invited to receive this free gift of grace that leads to salvation.
