Clarifying that we cannot forgive sins, only God can. If you are reading the post below and don't know the full content of what Jesus is talking about you could possibly misunderstand it.If you forgive anyone’s sins, they are forgiven. If you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”---John 20:23 NIVJesus was giving the disciples their Spirit-powered and Spirit-guided mission--to preach the Good News about Jesus so people’s sin might be forgiven. The disciples did not have the power to forgive sins (only God can forgive sins), but Jesus gave them the privilege of telling new believers that their sins have been forgiven because they have accepted Jesus’ message. All believers have this same privilege. We can announce forgiveness os sins with certainty when we ourselves have found repentance and faith.--- Life Application Study Bible notes
