Forgiveness of sin is only obtainable in Christ. There is no forgiveness outside Christ. The purpose of Christ going to the cross as orchestrated by God is to bring forgiveness to man. Whatever man has to receive from God has been rooted and established in the death of Christ. The death of Christ becomes a necessity for man because if Christ didn’t die man becomes a hopeless being. It’s apt to say that any man without Christ is living a hopeless life irrespective of his possession in life.
The means of receiving forgiveness of sin is through believing in the finished work of Christ. The finished work of Christ is encapsulated in His death burial and resurrection. So anyone that has believed that Christ died and was buried and on the third day He resurrected is saved from sin. It means his or her sins have been forgiven.
The promise of forgiveness of man’s sin wasn’t a thing of the New Testament but was established in the beginning. The beginning here is Genesis. The people in the beginning had to believe in Christ on a promissory note. God spoke to them about Christ in symbols and divers manners. Let’s see how the book of Hebrews puts it.
“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,”
Hebrews 1:1
See what Apostle Paul has to say below in regards to this;

Galatians 3:8

How did God preach to Abraham? The book Hebrews 1:1 answers that. It is stated it was in divers manners. The outcome of God’s preaching to Abraham was that Abraham believed God. The act of believing God brought and established God’s righteousness on Abraham.
“For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.”
Romans 4:3
