What do you believe concerning “the forgiveness of sins”?

Text: CRC/RCA 2011 · Read it at the source

I believe that God, because of Christ’s satisfaction, will no longer remember any of my sins or my sinful nature which I need to struggle against all my life. Rather, by grace God grants me the righteousness of Christ to free me forever from judgment.
