Inner Confidence in Corinthian Truth

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider Paul’s words as a map of your inner life. The Corinthians symbolize a state of obedience—an inner alignment to truth—that you are intentionally nurturing within the I AM. When Titus remembers their reception with fear and trembling, it is not about a man but about your own reverence toward the inner truth you stand in. Your boast, rightly, is a truthful declaration of what you have affirmed in consciousness: you have spoken truth, and truth has found a home in you. The inward affection that grows toward them mirrors the increased tenderness of your own inner state toward your ideal self and your world; this is the awakening of confidence that Paul calls a certainty in all things. Thus, the “I rejoice” moment is your recognition that your state of being has shifted—your external life will follow the inner conviction. The chapter invites you to dwell in the sense that you are already the person who sees others as obedient to truth, and your trust becomes your reality.
