The Bible is clear that God pardons sins by His grace based on Christ's work on the cross alone, not on man's actions. The apostle Paul reminds us that we should have buried our old selves — and our old sins — symbolically through baptism (Romans 6:3; Colossians 2:12). God desires to forget our transgressions as though they had not happened in the first place. Jeremiah 31:34 says, "I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more."
The best description for today's message is this: If we go to God seeking with a pure heart in repentance of our sins, He is just to forgive.
"It is finished".
