Cross Within: Simple Testimony

1 Corinthians 2:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Corinthians 2 in context

Scripture Focus

1And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
2For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
1 Corinthians 2:1-2

Biblical Context

Paul states that he came to them not with eloquent speech or worldly wisdom, but with the testimony of God. He declares that his aim was to know nothing among them save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the key is inner sight. Paul did not come with the glitter of rhetoric; he came with a plain, undistracted mind fixed on the testimony of God. The clause I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified signals a revision of consciousness: the thinker drops every claim to clever knowledge and chooses one reality—the inner Christ present now. The cross, in Neville style, is not the old symbol but the moment in which the old self is willingly surrendered to the Christ within. When you acknowledge that the I AM is the source of all awareness, worldly wisdom loses its grip, and your speech becomes the overflow of divine knowing rather than argument. Faith becomes trust in the unseen—present in experience, not slogans. The crucified Christ within you clears the stage for salvation as a present moment of consciousness. Remember that God is the I AM in you; to know Him is to know the transformation happening inside your mind as reality.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, and with feeling repeat, 'Jesus Christ within me, and Him crucified, is my only content.' Let the old self drop away and rest in the inner Christ as the present awareness.
