Who is the one Lord Jesus Christ spoken of in 1 Corinthians 8:6?
The one Lord Jesus Christ in 1 Corinthians 8:6 is the Creator by whom all things were made, including believers. Scripture contrasts many so-called gods and lords with the one God the Father and the one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom all things and we exist.
Les explains that 1 Corinthians 8:6 sets the believer’s confession against the many so-called gods and lords of the world. To believers there is only one God, the Father, of whom are all things and in whom believers exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom all things and believers exist. Les teaches that this means Christ is the Creator of us all. The context also notes that the Corinthian believers were still babes in Christ and did not fully comprehend who and what God really is, and many believers today are similarly saved but lack that comprehension.
For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
