Becoming Your Spiritual Father
1 Corinthians 4:15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Corinthians 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul contrasts many instructors with a single spiritual father; through the gospel, he has begotten you in Christ, signaling a birth of awareness rather than mere instruction.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Corinthians, you hear a tender message: there are countless voices of instruction, yet only one true fathering that awakens the child of God in you. The 'begotten you through the gospel' speaks not of a distant act but of a state of consciousness: in Christ Jesus I have begotten you, meaning your awareness has chosen a new birth, a new identification with the father within. You are not merely taught; you are re-born in the feeling of being fathered by the gospel, by the I AM that you are. The word 'fathers' denotes inner dispositions more than external roles. When you assume the feeling of being father to your own life, to your family, to your relationships, you align with the spiritual law that creation follows imagination. Salvation is not only future; it begins now as you rest in the assumption that you are already in Christ, and Christ is in you. Trust this inner process: the ten thousand instructors fade when the inner fatherhood is established. Let your present moment awareness be the gospel that births others into God-consciousness.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit in quiet; assume the state: 'I am the Father in Christ to those in my life.' Feel the reality, and let your inner gospel birth the desired change in relationships.
