What does the Bible say about forgiveness and sin?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible emphasizes that forgiveness is found in Christ, who does not condemn those who turn to Him.

In John 8:1-11, we see Jesus offer forgiveness to a woman caught in adultery, stating, 'Neither do I condemn thee; go and sin no more.' This underscores the reality that in Christ, there is no condemnation for those who are truly repentant. The act of Jesus not condemning her serves as a beautiful illustration of the grace afforded to all who believe in Him. He calls her to a life of holiness not to earn forgiveness, but as a consequence of receiving His grace. Thus, the nature of Christ's forgiveness is deeply tied to His redemptive work, where the guilty can find mercy and a transformed life is a response to that grace.
