Neville Goddard on 1 Corinthians 8:4-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Corinthians 8 in context

Scripture Focus

4As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.

5For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)

6But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

1 Corinthians 8:4-6

Biblical Context

Paul declares idols are nothing and there is one God; believers are called to anchor life in the Father and in Christ, recognizing unity.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the inner perspective, the so-called idols of the world are merely thoughts that have taken form in your consciousness. There is but one reality, God, the Father, in whom all are and through whom all come. When you say an idol is nothing, you are not denying history; you are releasing the mind from the illusion of separation. Your gods in heaven or on earth are names for prevailing states of awareness, and the only true Lord is the Christ within, through whom all experiences are made and by whom you are made. See that we in him and by whom are all things is your present condition: you live in the one Life, move in the one Mind, and are animated by the I AM that you are. When you feel this unity, you cease competing with shadows and begin cooperating with the divine pattern within. As you claim this interior truth, your outer circumstances harmonize, for you are aligning with the source of all form.

Practice This Now

Assume the conviction I am in God and God is in me, and feel it as real right now. Sit in quiet and let a radiant unity light surround you while you silently affirm there is one God, the Father, and I am in Him and He is in me.
