Jesus is:
o Holy - Refers to the quality of God who is transcendently distinctive, unique, majestic, perfect, and pure.[1]
o True - The word alēthinós appears 28 times in the NT. It is used more often than ἀληθής (alēthḗs) as a divine attribute, describing God Himself (John 17:3; 1 Thess 1:9; Rev 3:7; 6:10; 19:11). The adjective also describes people or things that are genuine, valid, or proper in relation to God (John 1:9; 4:23; 6:32; Heb 8:2; 9:24; 10:22; Rev 19:9). The NT use of this term seems to cover things that have eternal validity and indicates something aligned with eternal truth rather than with earthly acceptability.[2]
