What does the Bible say about God's ability to forgive sin?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God alone forgives sin and retains His anger no more through the sacrifice of Christ.

In Micah 7:18-19, we learn that God is uniquely able to pardon iniquity and pass by transgressions. He is the only God who can completely forgive, casting our sins into the depths of the sea, assuring us that He does not retain His anger forever. This truth is rooted in the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, who bore the full weight of God's wrath on the cross. Consequently, for believers, there is no condemnation, for Christ has satisfied divine justice completely, allowing us to be reconciled with God.
