What is the ground of our forgiveness?

Answered in 1 source

The ground of our forgiveness is the sacrificial blood of Jesus Christ, which covers our sins (Hebrews 9:22).

The ground of our forgiveness is the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ, whose blood was shed for the remission of our sins. Hebrews 9:22 states, 'without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin.' This concept emphasizes that forgiveness is not granted arbitrarily; it requires payment for sins, which Christ has fully accomplished on our behalf. Our faith is not a work that earns forgiveness but acknowledges and rests in the sufficiency of Christ's finished work. Therefore, the cross is the ultimate ground of our forgiveness, revealing God's justice and mercy harmonized in Christ.
