How do we know Christ was not a sinner?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's sinlessness is affirmed by both Scripture and His role as our sacrificial substitute.

The New Testament consistently affirms the sinlessness of Christ, making it foundational to our faith. Romans 8:3 mentions how God 'condemned sin in the flesh' through His Son, who was in 'the likeness of sinful flesh.' This indicates that while He bore the consequences of sin, He Himself did not commit sin. Thus, His perfect obedience and absence of rebellion against God qualify Him as our perfect High Priest, one who can sympathize with our weaknesses without being tainted by sin.
Scripture References: Romans 8:3, Hebrews 4:15, 1 Peter 2:24
