What does 1 Corinthians 1:8 say about being confirmed to the end?
Paul writes that the Lord will confirm believers unto the end so they may be blameless. Even Corinthians with failures and weaknesses would stand before God blameless if the Lord came, not because they were blameless, but on the basis of grace.
Les teaches that the testimony of Christ was confirmed in the Corinthians, so that they came behind in no gift, waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Then 1 Corinthians 1:8 says, “...who also shall confirm you unto the end, that you may be...” blameless. Les calls this mind-boggling: people like the Corinthians, with all their failures and weaknesses, would not stand before God shaking in their boots, because Paul says if the Lord should come, they would stand before Him blameless. They were not blameless in themselves; the basis is grace. This illustrates eternal security for the true believer.
Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
