How do we know Jesus is both willing and able to forgive sins?

We see in the Gospels that Jesus performs many miracles to prove His divine authority, one of which is the forgiveness of sins. In Matthew 9:1-8, when the paralytic is brought before Him, Jesus first addresses the man's spiritual need, stating, 'Thy sins be forgiven thee.' This declaration not only shows Jesus's willingness to forgive but also validates His ability as the Son of Man who has the authority on earth to forgive sins. Additionally, His resurrection from the dead confirms that He has overcome sin and death, providing assurance that our faith in Him is not misplaced. Jesus's nature as both God and man gives Him the perfect position to intercede on our behalf, further affirming His capacity to forgive (Romans 4:25).
