The Doctrine of Christ - Impeccability of Christ

"For we have not a high priest which cannot sympathize with our weaknesses; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin." (Hebrews 4:15)
Two words, temptability and impeccability, describe Christ in His temptation. The basic idea of temptability is "to be appealed to." Christ was in this sense tempted, but He was not tempted with evil nor was He tempted by evil desires (James 1:13). As God, He could not be tempted with evil. The word impeccability means Christ as God could not have sinned. The comparative attributes of God made it impossible for Him to sin when He was tempted.
Illustration: As you read about Christ's temptation notice that He did not rely on His attributes but on the Word of God to resist the temptation of Satan (Matt. 4:1-11).
Application: In this same way the Christian today can overcome temptation (Psalm 119:9-11).
