Why is Jesus called the Holy One in the Bible?

The designation of Jesus as the 'Holy One' underscores His unique nature as both fully God and fully man. He lived a sinless life, unlike any of His creation, thus meeting the divine requirements for atonement. In Psalm 16, David prophetically acknowledges that God would not allow His Holy One to see corruption, pointing directly to Christ’s resurrection. This title emphasizes not only His purity but also His sacred mission to deliver His people from sin and death, affirming the necessity of His resurrection for our salvation.
