H'brg Catechism #56. Q. What do you believe concerning the forgiveness of sins?
A. I believe that God, because of Christ's satisfaction,
will no more remember my sins,[1]
nor my sinful nature, against which I have to struggle all my life,[2]
but He will graciously grant me the righteousness of Christ,
that I may never come into condemnation.[3]
