Inner Order of Resurrection

1 Corinthians 15:23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Corinthians 15 in context

Scripture Focus

23But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
1 Corinthians 15:23

Biblical Context

Paul speaks of an order in resurrection: Christ the firstfruits, and afterward those who belong to Christ at his coming.

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that the 'order' spoken of is a law of consciousness, not a timetable of bodies. Christ the firstfruits represents the initial awakening of your I AM—the moment you affirm that you are awareness itself, not merely a personality or circumstance. When you dwell in the feeling that you are already the living Christ, you plant the firstfruits within your mind. The coming of Christ is then the emergence of that inner state into outward life—the outer signs reflecting the inner realization you have chosen to inhabit. The sequence is not external awaiting but inner alignment: revise any image that denies your divine nature; assume the end and let your faith rest in the truth of your I AM. As you persist in this inner decree, the world rearranges to correspond to your Christ-state. The resurrection you seek is the gradual embodiment of a consciousness that was always present, now made visible by your steadfast imagination. In short, the order invites you to live as Christ first in consciousness, and to watch the outer order follow in its own time.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and declare 'I am Christ’s firstfruits now' while feeling the I AM as your essential nature. Maintain that feeling for several minutes, then allow the coming of Christ to express as your life.
