What Does 1 Corinthians 1:6 Mean?
Paul explains how the Corinthians came to be so enriched: the testimony of Christ, the message he preached when he first came to them, took firm root and was confirmed in their lives.
The word about Christ was not empty talk; it was confirmed, made sure by its effect upon them. The gospel they received proved itself in changed lives and gifts freely given. What God begins, He also establishes and seals. The same testimony that first reached their ears had become the solid ground beneath their feet, the steady evidence that the message of Christ truly does what it promises to do.
