Inheriting the Inner Kingdom

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Corinthians 6 in context

Scripture Focus

9Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10

Biblical Context

The passage warns that unrighteous behavior prevents inheriting the kingdom of God, listing various acts to be avoided. It points to a standard of inner conduct aligned with divine life.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville’s deepest key, the kingdom is not a distant territory but a state of consciousness you wear now. The unrighteous list becomes a map of currents in your mind: attachment, craving, fear, and self-deception. These are not external judgments but movements of a lesser self you may be identifying with. The invitation is to awaken to the I AM within, the awareness that remains unchanged regardless of surface acts. When you identify with the kingdom as your present consciousness, you revise every cramped impulse by affirming, I am the I AM, and this awareness alone births a life worthy of the kingdom. Your true inheritance is the steady feeling of belonging to a holy, boundless self, here and now. Do not chase outward rules; align your inner state with wholeness, and the outer world will reflect that inner alignment. Imagination is the sole creator: imagine the self that already belongs to the kingdom, and it becomes your experienced reality.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling: I am within the kingdom now. Silently revise your self-image to 'I am holy, whole, and free,' and quietly feel that reality as your own.
