How do we know that Christ was sinless?

Answered in 8 sources

Christ was sinless because He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, which allowed Him to be free from original sin.

The sinlessness of Christ is foundational to the Gospel. The belief that Christ was both fully God and fully man is encapsulated in the doctrine of the incarnation. He was born of the virgin Mary, which means He was not tainted by the sinful nature that every human inherits from Adam. This miraculous conception was critical, as it fulfilled the promise in Genesis 3:15 regarding the seed of the woman who would crush the serpent's head, further attesting to His unique role as the perfect Lamb of God without blemish. Therefore, His divine nature ensured that He lived a life of absolute obedience to the Law, thus able to be our sinless Savior.
