Why is Jesus called holy and true?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is called holy because He is sinless and pure, and true as He embodies absolute truth without deception.

Jesus is referred to as 'holy' in the sermon not only because He is sinless as a human being but also because His nature reflects God's own holiness. Holiness entails a lack of any imperfection or untruth. He is also identified as 'true,' meaning that He embodies the fullness of truth as God revealed, with no hint of falsehood or deception. In John 17:3, Jesus emphasizes that knowing Him is essential to knowing God, who embodies truth. Thus, His holiness and truth underlie His authority to unlock the understanding of Scripture and open the way to salvation.
