How do we know Mary was a sinner?

Answered in 1 source

The Scriptures explicitly identify Mary as a sinner, emphasizing her need for salvation through Christ.

While Mary was certainly honored as the mother of Jesus, the Bible teaches that she was still a sinner in need of grace. Luke 1:47 reveals that she rejoiced in God her Savior, indicating her recognition of personal sin and reliance on divine mercy. This teaching is critical to avoid elevating Mary to an unbiblical status, as the gospel makes clear that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, including Mary, who was ultimately made holy by God's grace, just like all believers.
