Inner Resurrection Hope Unveiled
1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Thessalonians 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul tells believers not to grieve like those without hope, for since Christ died and rose again, God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.
Neville's Inner Vision
Beloved, seek not in the grave for distant comfort, but in the state of your own consciousness. The dead in Christ are the asleep perceptions within your mind that have not yet awakened to your I AM. When you sorrow as those without hope, you entertain separation; when you believe Jesus died and rose again, you acknowledge a shift of states: the risen Christ is the consciousness that has overcome limitation, and those who sleep in Him are now brought into that higher awareness. God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus—this is the law by which your inner world operates: the completion of your awareness includes all formerly external experiences. Therefore, revise your sense of loss by assuming their presence in your now; feel their unity with your I AM as if it were real. The promise becomes practical: resurrection is a change of state you enact through imagination, leading to salvation and redemption in the very moment you choose to believe.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and revise: I am the Resurrection and the Life now; those who sleep in Jesus are with Him in my awareness. Feel their presence as real companions, and let sorrow yield to hopeful expectancy for the days ahead.
