Will the carnal Corinthian believers be blameless when the Lord comes?
Yes. The inspired apostle tells the carnal Corinthian believers that if the Lord should suddenly come, so far as God is concerned, they would be blameless. That standing rests entirely on the work of the cross and the shed blood of Christ, not on their carnality.
Les explains that the apostle by inspiration tells these carnal Corinthian believers that if the Lord should suddenly come, so far as God was concerned, they would be blameless. The basis is not their own conduct but the work of the cross and the shed blood of Christ. Les connects this to Revelation chapter 12, where at the midpoint of the tribulation, that final seven years, there is war in heaven, and Satan and his angels are defeated and cast out. Satan is the accuser of the brethren, accusing them before God day and night, and he accuses every time a believer sins. Yet the comfort remains that God's verdict of blamelessness rests on Christ's finished work.
