2 Corinthians 1:21
“Now he who establishes us with you in Christ, and anointed us, is God;”
What does 2 Corinthians 1:21 mean?
God doesn't just invite us into faith and then leave us to figure things out alone, Paul says. He actively strengthens and stabilizes us in our relationship with Christ, working alongside us every day. The "anointing" refers to that sense of being set apart and empowered by God's Spirit, marked as belonging to him. This is Paul's reassurance to people facing real difficulties: the same God who called you into this faith is continuously holding you steady and giving you what you need to stay faithful.
