Faultless may no longer be a word we commonly use, yet it’s still an important word in the Bible. That’s because Jesus was the faultless lamb of God who was slain to take away the sins of the world. He redeemed us back from Hell and we are now free to have a relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ. But what does the word faultless mean in Greek? Let’s take a look.
First, I want to define the word faultless by using the 1828 Noah Webster’s Dictionary:
“1. Without fault; not defective or imperfect; free from blemish; free from incorrectness; perfect; as a faultless poem or picture.
2. Free from vice or imperfection; as a faultless man.”
All scriptures are taken from NKJV unless otherwise marked.
