The Bible teaches that God forgives the sin of His people because of the sacrifice of Christ, as seen in passages like 1 John 1:7 and Psalm 103:12.
The Bible emphasizes the complete forgiveness of sin for God's elect, stating that all the sins of believers are washed away by the blood of Christ. For instance, 1 John 1:7 declares, 'the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.' Similarly, Psalm 103:12 affirms, 'As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.' This beautiful assurance reinforces the depth of God’s grace and the efficacy of Christ’s sacrifice, which not only purges our sins but assures us of acceptance before God, allowing us to live without the fear of condemnation.
