Inner Mission by God's Will

2 Timothy 1:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Timothy 1 in context

Scripture Focus

1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
2 Timothy 1:1

Biblical Context

2 Timothy 1:1 presents Paul as an apostle by the will of God, grounded in the promise of life in Christ Jesus. It locates authority and mission in divine intention rather than human effort.

Neville's Inner Vision

Paul appears as a symbol of your own inner apostolate—an invitation to awaken to the will of God as your governing motive. The line 'by the will of God' teaches that your actions flow from a divine inner alignment rather than personal striving. The 'promise of life which is in Christ Jesus' is the energy of inner being you claim now, the living reality you can rest in rather than chase. This verse redefines vocation: your mission and your witness spring from the I AM within, a covenant loyalty to Life itself. When you imagine yourself as the one sent, you are not fabricating an external role; you are recognizing your true nature as channels of divine life. The life in Christ Jesus is not past, but present-energized, a vitality you cultivate by feeling it real in consciousness. So your apostolic identity is simply your awakened state—awareness aligned with God, acting from that awareness, witnessing through acts born of love and truth.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and declare, I am the apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and feel the life in Christ Jesus pulsing through me now. Return to this feeling whenever doubt arises.
