GOD FORGIVES SINS
In the evening of the day Jesus rose from the dead, He appeared to
His disciples who were hiding behind locked doors and said to
them “IF YOU FORGIVE ANYONE HIS SINS, THEY ARE
FORGIVEN …” [Jn 20:23 NI]. God guided Jesus to say this for
those disciples, no one else. Many have made up teachings and
rules describing how people in their religion are qualified to forgive
people’s sins. Only God forgives sins. Jesus directs us to God for
forgiveness not a religious leader, when He teaches “IF YOU
FORGIVE OTHER PEOPLE WHEN THEY SIN AGAINST
YOU, YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER WILL ALSO FORGIVE
YOU” [Mt 6:14 NI]. Perhaps the best evidence or result proving
that a person has “AUTHORITY ON EARTH TO FORGIVE
SINS” [Mk 2:10 GN] is the example Jesus gave when He forgave
sins, resulting in the person being healed. Jesus knows people
claiming to forgive sins for God is a lie! Do you believe Jesus?
