I receive this forgiveness through faith, that is, by believing the promise of the Gospel.

Genesis 15:6 And he [Abram] believed the LORD, and He counted it to him as righteousness.

John 3:18 Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned alrady, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
