What does the Bible say about the forgiveness of sins?

Answered in 33 sources

The Bible teaches that forgiveness of sins comes through Jesus Christ, who was delivered for our offenses and raised for our justification (Romans 4:25).

The forgiveness of sins is a central theme throughout the Bible, particularly seen in the work of Jesus Christ. In Romans 4:25, it is declared that 'he was delivered for our offenses and was raised again for our justification.' This means that Christ's sacrificial death satisfies the demands of God's justice, offering a means for sinners to be reconciled with God. Believers find hope and joy in the knowledge that through faith in Christ, they are accepted before God, not because of their own righteousness but because of the righteousness of Christ that is credited to them. The gospel reveals that regardless of the depth of one's sin, forgiveness is readily available through Jesus, the Savior of sinners.
