Neville Goddard on 1 Timothy 4:10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Timothy 4 in context

Scripture Focus

10For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.

1 Timothy 4:10

Biblical Context

We labor and endure reproach because we trust in the living God. The verse says He is the Saviour of all, especially those who believe, implying belief shapes the saving presence we experience.

Neville's Inner Vision

All that you call labor or suffering is but a curving motion of your consciousness seeking realization. The 'God' of the text is not a distant power but the I AM within you, the very awareness that feels and knows. To trust in the living God is to consent to the reality that your inner state already carries salvation in action. The Saviour of all men is the universal gift of awareness saving you from fear, lack, and limitation, but the saving power becomes most alive for those who believe—that is, for those who live in the conviction that I AM and you are one, that your thoughts carry the life you inhabit. The verse invites you to see trials as the movement of your mental state toward the truth you already hold. When you persist in imagining the state of redemption, you become its proof; outer events align with your inner trust. The living God is not afar; He is your own consciousness rescuing you from doubt by simply consenting to the truth that you are now saved in consciousness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, and assume the state 'I am saved now.' Feel the relief and let that belief reform your sense of reality. Rest in it until it feels natural, then watch outer experiences answer the inner trust.
