What does the Bible say about God's forgiveness of sins?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible teaches in Hebrews 10:17 that God will remember the sins of His people no more, signifying complete forgiveness.

Hebrews 10:17 clearly states, 'And their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.' This is a profound statement of the complete forgiveness that God grants to His people. In the context of this passage, the writer of Hebrews illustrates the finality of Christ's sacrifice. Unlike the repetitive animal sacrifices of the Old Covenant, which could never actually take away sin, Christ's one offering was sufficient to perfect forever those who are sanctified. Therefore, when God declares that He will remember our sins no more, it is not that He forgets them in the human sense; God, being immutable, does not forget. Rather, He will not charge those sins against us because they have been fully atoned for through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
