6Even King David himself speaks to us regarding the complete wholeness that comes inside a person when Gods powerful declaration of righteousness is heard over our life. Apart from our works, Gods work is enough.

8What happy progress comes to them when they hear the Lord speak over them, I will never hold your sins against you!" TPT

18In other words, just as condemnation came upon all people through one transgression, so through one righteous act of Jesus sacrifice, the perfect righteousness that makes us right with God and leads us to a victorious life is now available to all.
19One mans disobedience opened the door for all humanity to become sinners. So also one mans obedience opened the door for many to be made perfectly right with God and acceptable to him.

46 You provided nothing for freshening up, but she has soothed my feet with perfume.
47 Impressive, isn't it? She was forgiven many, many sins, and so she is very, very grateful. If the forgiveness is minimal, the gratitude is minimal."
48 Then he spoke to her: "I forgive your sins."
49 That set the dinner guests talking behind his back: "Who does he think he is, forgiving sins!"
50 He ignored them and said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you. Go in peace." MSG

4 But Jesus, knowing (seeing) their thoughts, said, Why do you think evil and harbor malice in your hearts?
5 For which is easier: to say, Your sins are forgiven and the penalty remitted, or to say, Get up and walk?
6 But in order that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins and remit the penalty, He then said to the paralyzed man, Get up! Pick up your sleeping pad and go to your own house.

14 For if you forgive people their trespasses [their reckless and willful sins, leaving them, letting them go, and giving up resentment], your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
