Jesus was sinless in his nature, thoughts, actions and resisted all temptation to sin. This is evidenced by descriptions of him as holy, righteous, and just in the Bible and testimonies from Pilate, his wife, the thief on the cross, and the centurion. Arguments against his sinlessness based on inherited and imputed sin from Adam are refuted by Jesus having no earthly father and receiving genetic material only from Mary. His sinlessness was necessary for him to be the perfect revelation of God, mediator, and sacrifice for human sins.

3. The Sinlessness of Jesus Christ
The Meaning of Sin
The word sin could be defined as any failure to conform perfectly to the
holy character and will of God.
God requires people to be holy because He is holy (Lev. 11:44; 1 Pet.
1:15–16), but people fail to fulfill that requirement (Rom. 3:23).

Testimonies regarding the Sinlessness of Christ:
From the Lord Himself
Jesus’ own testimony. He saw sin in others but did not see sin in Himself.
John 8:46, “Which of you convinceth Me of sin?” He was without sin.
Christ was the only man that could ever make that claim honestly after
Adam’s fall. Jesus never admitted a fault or ever asked for forgiveness of
sins. No evil thought ever lodged in His perfect, holy mind.

15. The Sinlessness of Jesus Christ
Arguments against the Christ’s Sinlessness:
Argument 1: Inherited Sin
 Adam, as the head of the human race, caused every person after him to
be born into a fallen condition or sinful state. This effect of Adam’s sin is
known as original sin and is often referred to as inherited sin. All human
beings have inherited a sinful nature through Adam’s original act of
disobedience (Romans 5:12–14).
15

16. The Sinlessness of Jesus Christ
In This Bible Lesson We will Discuss:
Argument 2: Imputed Sin
In addition to receiving a fallen nature, all people who came after Adam
have been credited with the guilt of Adam’s sin (Romans 5:18). That is the
meaning of imputed sin. An imputation is an attribution or a crediting of
something. Imputed sin is Adam’s guilt attributed to or credited to us. All
humans are counted as having sinned in Adam and thus deserving the same
punishment for sin as Adam

18. The Sinlessness of Jesus Christ
How did Jesus inherited a sinless human nature?
Answer: 1: Jesus had no earthly father
Father’ line: Jesus inherited genetic material from Mary (to be fully human,
i.e., descendant of Adam to become the Last Adam) but not from Joseph,
therefore, original sin must pass through the father to the offspring. This
allows Jesus to avoid original sin.

19. The Sinlessness of Jesus Christ
How did Jesus inherited a sinless human nature?
Answer: 1: Jesus had no earthly father
Jesus humanity was formed from 23 chromosomes from His mother Mary
and the other 23 was supplied without a human father this indicate that
the sin nature is passed on to human offspring through the father, not the
mother.

Consequences of denying Christ's Sinlessness:
If Jesus were sinful He had to die on Calvary for His own sin and we are
yet in our sins.
If Jesus were sinful, then He was neither the Son of God nor the Son of
man, the Savior.
If Jesus were sinful it would be impossible for Him to be a sacrifice on
Calvary.
