DID JESUS REALLY LIVE A
SINLESS LIFE?
By Sharon Houk
It seems impossible for any person to
live a sinless life, as even the smallest
wrongdoing would disqualify us from the
“sinless” category. We are correct in
concluding it is impossible for a person
to be sinless, unless that person was
also God.
Jesus claimed that he was equal to
God, that he gave life and resurrection
and that he had the authority to judge
and forgive sins. John the Baptist and
others witnessed his deity through
miracles. Jesus received worship due
only to God and referred to himself as
the “I AM.” He was tried, convicted,
and received the death penalty for
these claims—he was God. Jesus was
also fully man.
The Bible teaches that he grew in
maturity, he knew hunger, he knew
thirst, he needed sleep and, eventually
he died. He was a complete and perfect
man who had physical limitations like all
humans have. The difference, however,
is that he was born of a woman, but
supernaturally conceived of God. This
birth, the “virgin birth” allows Jesus to
be sinless. This is of great significance
in that it was the first man, Adam, who
sinned and caused all humanity to be
stained with the sinful nature through
the male seed. Without human male
participation in the conception, Jesus
was born sinless, or free of the sin of
Adam. But why was this necessary?
God made him who had no sin to be
sin for us, so that in him we might
become the righteousness of God.
Furthermore, “…Christ suffered for you,
leaving you an example, that you should
follow in his steps. ‘He committed no
sin and no deceit was found in his
mouth.’” Jesus ultimately suffered and
died a death he didn’t deserve.
He was the only sinless one qualified
to pay the sin debt that Adam
introduced into humanity which initially
caused the separation between man and
God. Because Jesus was sinless, he lived
a sinless life. Once we recognize that
we each carry the “sin debt” and that
Jesus died to pay the debt, our sins can
be taken away too.
