Forgiveness of sins means that you can have eternal life in God’s kingdom by accepting Jesus as Lord of your life and receiving forgiveness for your sins.
The Bible says, “If we confess our sins, He [God] is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” John the Apostle, 1 John 1:9
Forgiveness means there will be no penalty for your sins. A person who is forgiven will not be in danger of going to hell.
But how are we forgiven of all our sins?
Jesus came to earth and died on the cross so that we could be forgiven of our sins. Now, if we believe (have faith) in Jesus, we are saved from going to hell. To have faith in Jesus means that we dedicate our lives to living according to God’s will and not living a life of sinful behavior.
Jesus died on the cross so our sins could be forgiven. God demanded a blood sacrifice so that all people could be forgiven of their sins, but only if they believed in, trusted in, and followed Jesus. Faith in Jesus means you must live by His commandments for the rest of your life.
