Merriam-Webster defines forgiveness this way; to stop feeling anger toward (someone who has done something wrong): to stop blaming (someone): to stop requiring payment of (money that is owed). To find out what forgiveness really means, we need to go the one who has the authority to forgive our sins. Jesus delivered his mercy to the paralytic in the Gospel of Mark (Mark 2:1-12) with four simple words, "Your sins are forgiven." He says the same four words to you. Jesus is God. When he says your sins are forgiven, they are forgiven. (Chapter 8, page 55)
