Discover the liberating, unveiling yet profound truth of God's forgiveness and its transformative power. Dive into the hearts of Christians who grapple with doubts about God's willingness to heal, grounded in feelings of unworthiness. Explore how, in every miracle performed by Jesus, the issue of guilt and shame took precedence. Jesus, rather than immediately performing a physical healing, began by offering the paralytic something far more profound—forgiveness of sins. Delve into the key principle of remaining in grace, recognizing that it's not our sins but our disbelief in God's ability to handle them that distances us from Him. By revealing the role of the Law in magnifying our need for grace and the dangers of condemnation and shame, be encouraged as believers to stay in the gospel, dwell in God's unmerited favor, and remain confident of His endless forgiveness.

Mark 2:5 (ESV) And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven."
