What does 1 Corinthians 1:6 say about the testimony of Christ?
First Corinthians 1:6 states that the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you, meaning it was sealed and settled among the believers. As a result, they come behind in no spiritual gift, waiting for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Les teaches that 1 Corinthians 1:6 says the testimony of Christ was confirmed in the Corinthians—confirmed, sealed, and settled. Consequently, they came behind in no gift, being just as potentially able to accomplish great things as anyone could be, waiting for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Les connects this to verse 8, where Christ shall confirm them unto the end, that they may be blameless. Even though the Corinthians had many failures and weaknesses, Paul says if the Lord should come, they would stand before Him blameless—not because they were blameless, but on the basis of grace. Les notes this relates to eternal security for the true believer.
