What does the Bible say about the remission of sins?
Answered in 3 sources
The Bible teaches that through Jesus Christ, our sins are remitted, meaning they are put away and no longer remembered by God (Hebrews 10:18).
Scripture reveals that the remission of sins is attributed uniquely to Jesus Christ's sacrifice. In Hebrews 10:18, it is stated, 'Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.' This indicates that once sins are remitted through the offering of Christ, no further sacrifice is necessary. In the Old Testament, sacrifices were repeated annually, merely covering sins; however, Christ’s single offering permanently purged our sins, offering true cleansing and assurance that God no longer holds our sins against us. The power of Christ's atonement is thoroughly articulated throughout the New Testament, emphasizing that His sacrifice satisfied God's justice and fulfilled the requirements of the law.
