Rising Within: The Inner Resurrection

1 Corinthians 15:12-13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Corinthians 15 in context

Scripture Focus

12Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
1 Corinthians 15:12-13

Biblical Context

Paul notes that if Christ is preached as risen from the dead, some deny any resurrection. If there were no resurrection, Christ would not be risen.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville sense, 'Christ' is not a man in history but the I AM—the living consciousness behind every thought and feeling. To say there is no resurrection is to mistake the nature of life as something outside your awareness. The resurrection is not a distant event; it is the awakening of that state of mind to the truth that life is continuous and that your awareness can transform what seems dead in you—fear, lack, doubt—into living reality. When you encounter this verse, you stand before the inner tomb of diminished selfhood and discover the stone rolled away by your rising awareness. The message challenges you to revise your state: assume that the I AM within you is already risen, that your body, relationships, and circumstances reflect a life freed from fear. Trust the inner vision you have: when you affirm the risen Christ within, you enact the very resurrection you claim to seek.

Practice This Now

Assume the I AM within me is risen now; feel it as a present sunrise in my chest. Revise any fear by repeating, 'The risen Christ within me is alive and fully present.'
