Neville Goddard on 1 Corinthians 1:1 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Corinthians 1 in context

Scripture Focus

1Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

1 Corinthians 1:1

Biblical Context

Paul is appointed as an apostle by the will of God, with Sosthenes as brother. The verse emphasizes vocation as an inner alignment, not a mere title.

Neville's Inner Vision

Paul is named as an Apostle by the will of God, but this is not a historical badge to be earned. It is the inner movement of your consciousness waking to its true function. The I AM within you is the God who calls, and to be called means you align with that perfect discipline of inner intention. When Paul declares himself by this will, he is testifying to your own readiness to witness the Christ within. Sosthenes our brother points to companionship within the inner kingdom—other facets of self who stand with you in the same experiment of consciousness. The act of being called is the inner conviction that you are already employed by the divine purpose, moving you to communicate your truth. Practice this by assuming a present-tense posture: I am the one called to be the apostle of my inner Jesus, guided by the will that governs all. Your vocation then becomes your daily reality, not a distant goal.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the state: I am called to be the apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God. Revise any doubt; feel Sosthenes as your inner brother standing beside you, and dwell in the sense that your divine vocation is already yours.
