Bible Question (short): When does God forgive me?

Question (full): When does God forgive my sins?

Some perspectives I've heard on forgiveness:

a. Obey God, do good to others, live a moral life, then God signs for our pardon;

b. Simply repent, confess, believe, come home to God, then He signs for our pardon;

c. At the cross Christ already signed for our pardon with His blood while we were yet unpenitent sinners. He invites us to repent and return to Him not in order to be forgiven (for He already has) but in order to personally experience and benefit from what He has legally accomplished for all people through His death.

Does God change from unforgiving to forgiving when we repent? or has He forgiven us even prior to our repentance? Do acts of repentance, confession and faith change God? or do they change us?

I usually hear and read about perspectives A and B. But I feel drawn with perspective C. It seems to be in harmony with the spirit of Isaiah 44:22 where it says, "I have swept away your transgressions like a cloud, and your sins like mist; return to me, for I have redeemed you."

What are your thoughts?
