Redemption Beyond Perishable Things
1 Peter 1:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Peter 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse states you were not redeemed with corruptible things like silver or gold, but from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers.
Neville's Inner Vision
Redemption here is not a purchase of wealth but a turning within. In the state of I AM, the consciousness that you are, you awaken to a worth that money cannot measure. The words 'not redeemed' invite you to drop the old belief that salvation comes from lineage, tradition, or gold, for these are merely symbols of a deeper dream. The 'corruptible things' point to transient values that fade when faced with the quiet power of awareness. Your fathers' tradition is a memory pattern, not the source of your being. When you realize you are the I AM, you see that grace is already yours; forgiveness and reconciliation arise as inner alignment, not as a payment. The inner man is redeemed by recognizing that the true substance of self is spiritual, not material, and that your thoughts and imaginations create your reality. As you dwell in this awareness, outward conditions shrink in importance while you live from a stable, creative consciousness that expresses salvation in every day.
Practice This Now
Assume the feeling of redemption now. In a quiet moment, declare 'I am the I AM, redeemed now,' and picture your awareness expanding beyond old money-based worth into the living, inner grace.
