Can Jesus Really Forgive my Sins?

Matthew 9:1-8: Jesus got in the boat, crossed the water and came to his own town. Then some people appeared, bringing him a paralytic stretched out on a bed. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralytic, ‘Courage, my child, your sins are forgiven.’ Do I trust in God's forgiveness of my sin? What really is sin? Fr.
