1. The blessedness of forgiveness. “Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.” (Rom. 4:77Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. (Romans 4:7).) Observe that the blessing is a present one—are forgiven, are covered.
2. How the forgiveness is obtained. Through Christ. “Through this Man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins” (previous verses, 28 and 30, show that He was slain, and is risen again), “and by Him all that believe are justified from all things.” (Acts 13:38, 3938Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: 39And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

3. How the forgiveness is secured. In Christ Himself, now exalted in heaven. “In whom we have ... the forgiveness of sins.” (Eph. 1:77In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; (Ephesians 1:7).)
