Inner Freedom in Corinthians

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the words as a shift in your inner climate. Servant and master are not external classifications but states of consciousness you wear. If you are called in the Lord, you are already the Lord’s freeman, for freedom is not a policy but the I AM that animates every scene. Ye are bought with a price; that price is only the recognizing that you belong to the divine life within you, not to the assurances of others. When you dwell in this awareness, the sense of servitude dissolves, not by resistance but by revision: you revise your sense of who you are until the feeling of constraint gives way to quiet power. Your true function becomes consecration to the Lord’s service, which is service to your own divine nature. The world may name you by a role, but your inner state names you as free—free to act, free to choose, free to love, guided by the unassailable I AM.
