What role does God's word play in seeking forgiveness?

Answered in 1 source

God's word serves as the authority by which we approach Christ for forgiveness and assurance of His mercy.

In the narrative of Joseph and his brothers, we see that they approached Joseph for forgiveness based on a command from their father. This reflects how believers come to Christ on the authority of God's Word, seeking His mercy. God's promises in Scripture provide the foundation for our requests for forgiveness, assuring us that Christ's sacrifice is sufficient for our sins. As Hebrews 4:16 encourages us, we can approach the throne of grace with confidence to find mercy because it is grounded in God's faithful promises. This reliance on God’s Word fosters a deeper trust in Christ's character, reinforcing that He is eager to forgive those who come to Him sincerely.
