How do we know that Jesus can cleanse our sins?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus has the authority and power to cleanse us from our sins, as demonstrated by His miracles and His sacrifice on the cross.

The confidence that Jesus can cleanse our sins comes from His identity as the Son of God, who has the unique authority and capability to forgive and cleanse us. The leper in Luke 5 demonstrates living faith by approaching Jesus with the request, 'Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.' This shows an understanding that Jesus alone has the power to heal. Moreover, Scripture affirms that without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin (Hebrews 9:22). The sacrificial death of Christ, therefore, becomes the foundation of our assurance that we can be made clean through Him. His blood is the means by which our sins are purged.
