How do we know that Jesus's forgiveness is genuine?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus's forgiveness is genuine as it is granted through His divine authority, evidenced by the healing of the paralyzed man.

In the account of the paralyzed man in Mark 2:1-12, Jesus first declares, 'Son, thy sins be forgiven thee'. This announcement signifies the divine authority by which Jesus forgives sins, intertwining His identity as God and the Savior of sinners. His authority is validated not just through words but through the miracle of healing, showing that He not only has the power to forgive but to transform lives. As stated in Galatians 3:26, we are all children of God by faith in Christ Jesus; hence, genuine forgiveness is an assurance rooted in faith and Christ’s redemptive power. Believers can take comfort in the certainty that those whom He forgives are indeed forgiven fully and completely.
