How do we know Christ is faultless?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is revealed as faultless both by the testimony of Pilate and through divine affirmations at His baptism and transfiguration (Matthew 3:17).

The faultlessness of Christ is crucial to understanding His role as our Savior. Pilate’s repeated assertion, 'I find no fault in him,' highlights the innocence of Jesus, affirming that He was judged yet found blameless by a secular authority. Moreover, divine testimonies at crucial moments, including Jesus' baptism and the Mount of Transfiguration, where God declares, 'This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased,' further reinforce His sinlessness. Scripture also supports this claim through the writings of the apostles, who confirm that Christ 'did no sin' (1 Peter 2:22) and 'in Him is no sin' (1 John 3:5). These affirmations establish Christ's perfect nature, making Him the only one capable of bearing the sins of others.
