Subject: do we have authority to forgive sins ? |
Bible Note: Hi Jeff and welcome to the forum. We don't have the authority to forgive sin but we have the authority and are commanded to present the gospel message of Christ Jesus to a lost world and if those that hear the message through the work of the Holy Spirit believe in Christ their sins will be forgiven that very moment. That’s not to say that they won’t sin anymore but if they do they can be forgiven by confessing or naming their sins to the Father. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. The “we” in the verse is for believers only which have already trusted in God’s Son Jesus Christ for eternal life. . I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |
