Impeccability is an inability to sin, while sinlessness refers to an absence of actual sin. Christian doctrine teaches impeccability to be an attribute of God (logically God cannot sin: it would mean that God would act against God's own will and nature) and therefore it is also attributed to Christ. The Letter to the Hebrews asserts that Christ "did not sin".^[1]
