The Forgiveness of Sins

Matthew 9:6 “But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So He said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, take your mat and go home.”Jesus has the power to forgive sins. What an extremely thrilling statement to receive and to know and to be comforted by. That He forgives us of all our sins. He has the power to forgive, no matter what the sins are. We can depend upon His mercy and grace. We thank God for His completed work at Calvary and that which He has done.He told the paralytic man to take his mat and go home just as a demonstration that the sin is forgiven. There seems to be a correlation between sickness and sin. It was always there. We know that sin brought in sickness from the very Garden of Eden but also in the natural it seems that sin may be cause of illness in our lives, at times. Whether it just be the fall of man or whether it be a personal fault of our own. However, we can know that He has the power to forgive sins and we are able to receive it as a pure gift, a wonderful gift of forgiveness.It would be foolish of us not to enjoy every living moment with complete forgiveness of sins. The Bible says that if we confess our sins, He is just enough to forgive us. We are just to confess and receive and enjoy the wonderful forgiveness of our Lord Jesus.
