How does Jesus grant forgiveness of sins?

The forgiveness of sins is an exclusive right of Jesus Christ due to His sacrificial death on the cross. As stated in Matthew 9:2, when Jesus said, 'Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee,' He demonstrated His authority to absolve sin, a power that reflects His divine nature. His death is central to this forgiveness; He perfectly satisfied the wrath of God against sin by bearing it on our behalf. This means that when He forgives, it is complete and leaves no remnant of guilt. Christians can rest in the assurance that, through His blood, their sins are not only forgiven but also remembered no more, providing a profound sense of peace and reconciliation with God.
