What is the meaning of being forgiven according to the Bible?

Biblical forgiveness involves the complete removal of our sins from God’s sight. Psalm 32 emphasizes that blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven; their sin is covered (Psalm 32:1). This act of forgiveness is the result of God's grace through Christ, who bore our sins in His body on the cross (1 Peter 2:24). As believers, when we trust in Christ, our sins are not charged to our account but are reckoned to Christ, affirming that we are justified and restored in our relationship with God.
