How do we know Jesus can cleanse us from sin?

Answered in 2 sources

Jesus demonstrates His authority and willingness to cleanse sins, as seen when He heals the leper in Matthew 8:3.

The cleansing of the leper in Matthew 8 serves as a powerful affirmation of Jesus's ability and willingness to forgive sins. When the leper approaches Jesus and says, 'Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean,' he acknowledges both the Lord's power and His sovereignty. Jesus's response, 'I will; be thou clean,' reveals His deep compassion and His authority over sin and sickness. This miracle is not merely about physical healing; it symbolizes the spiritual cleansing that comes through Christ's sacrificial death, where He bore our sins. Thus, Scripture assures us of His capability to cleanse us from all unrighteousness when we come to Him in faith.
