Question 56 What believest thou concerning |the forgiveness of sins|?

What believest thou concerning "the forgiveness of sins"?

That God, for the sake of Christ's satisfaction, will no more remember my sins, neither my corrupt nature, against which I have to struggle all my life long; [177] but will graciously impute to me the righteousness of Christ, [178] that I may never be condemned before the tribunal of God. [179]
