The statements that accurately identify what God does when God forgives us of sin are:
- forgives us of our sin
- releases us from sin's guilt
- relieves us of sin's penalty
The statements "ignores sin" and "abolishes the consequences of sin" do not accurately reflect the traditional understanding of forgiveness in many religious contexts. While forgiveness means that God does not hold our sins against us, it does not imply that God ignores sin or that all consequences of sin are abolished.
