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

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that forgiveness of sin is solely God's prerogative and is grounded in His sovereign will and the sacrifice of Christ.

According to the Scriptures, the forgiveness of sin belongs exclusively to God. As seen in Psalm 130:4, forgiveness is offered by God that He might be feared. It is important to recognize that sin is fundamentally against God, and consequently, only He has the authority to forgive it. This forgiveness is not arbitrary but is established in God's sovereign purpose, as foreshadowed in Revelation 13:8, where Christ is identified as the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. The prerogative to forgive sin signifies God's exclusive right to determine how and when forgiveness is granted, which ultimately culminates in the sacrificial death of Christ on the cross.
