What does the Bible say about who can forgive sins?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that only God has the authority to forgive sins (Matthew 9:6).

In Matthew 9:1-8, Jesus demonstrated His divine authority by forgiving the sins of a paralyzed man, leading some religious leaders to accuse Him of blasphemy. Jesus' response revealed His true identity as God incarnate, emphasizing that the power to forgive sins belongs solely to Him. This incident illustrates the essential truth that only God can grant forgiveness, highlighting the necessity of recognizing Jesus for who He truly is.
