Do what the Bible says…

“But I want you to know that the Son of Man (Jesus) has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “Get up. take your mat and go home.”  Matthew 9:6

If your sins are forgiven. your sickness will be healed. Have faith! Repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of your sins.

Which is easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?  Matthew 9:5

Why can Jesus forgive and heal?

Jesus came down from heaven to save those who will accept Him as a Savior. Man needs a Savior because he has sinned and the payment of sin is death (Romans 6:23).

When we have sinned, we were indebted to God for we have disobeyed Him and have destroyed God’s holiness and faithfulness.

God created man in His likeness yet man chose the curse of disobedience. Adam and Eve disobeyed what is required to them by God, they destroyed God’s goodness and holiness. As a result, God has put the consequence their disobedience death. To die is to be separated from God. As the body without spirit is dead (James 2:26). And they became the enemy of God (Romans 5:10).

Instead of considering God as a loving Father, they challenged Him and became a rebel without a cause. But because God is a loving Father, He wanted man back to Him. Their sins must be appropriated and the price is a perfect redeemer for their indebtedness-a redeemer that must be like God and must stand between sinners. Christ is the perfect Savior and Redeemer and in Him we are forgiven (Ephesians 1:7). A perfect savior who mediates between God and the sins of the whole world (1 Timothy 2:5) even us, because we all have sinned (Romans 6:23)

If you want to be forgiven, God will forgive you. If you want to be healed, you will be healed thru Jesus Christ.

Like how Jesus Christ healed the man with palsy, He commanded him to get up, take his mat, and go home, and the paralytic man went home well and healed (Matthew 9:6).

Friend, come to God, acknowledge that Christ is your Savior and you will be healed!
