Inner Freedom in the Lord
1 Corinthians 7:39 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Corinthians 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband lives. Upon his death, she is free to remarry, but only in the Lord.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through Neville Goddard's lens, the verse is a map of inner states. The 'wife' and the 'husband' are symbols of a consciousness bound by an outer law—habit, fear, or lack—that keeps you aligned with a given form. When that inner covenant 'dies' by a revision of belief, you are free to remarry—in consciousness—with a new state you choose 'in the Lord'. The Lord is not a distant ruler but the I AM presence within you, the awareness that does not change. To embody the verse, you practice imagining that the old form dissolves, hearing the inner voice declare, 'I am free to marry in the Lord,' and feeling that truth as real now. The new union arises not from external change but from inner alignment: you are already united with the state you seek, as the I AM that you are. Trust that these shifts are not about others but about your own consciousness being renewed, and you will find the outer circumstances follow the inward covenant.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume you are already in the state of freedom in the Lord; revise the belief that you are bound by an old covenant, and feel it real.
