Ephesians 1:1

Biblical Context

Paul writes as God’s chosen messenger to the saints at Ephesus and to the faithful in Christ Jesus. He signals a unity of vocation and faith.

Neville's Inner Vision

From Neville's psychological reading, this verse declares that Paul embodies the I AM speaking through you. 'By the will of God' is the inner alignment that makes the messenger arise from your own divine state. The 'saints' and the 'faithful in Christ Jesus' are not distant people but inner dispositions you can inhabit: states of trust, purity, and oneness with Christ consciousness. When you accept that you are the appointed speaker of God within your life, you shift from outer identification to an inner reality where Christ dwells and directs action. This is not history, but a present shift in consciousness: you are called, guided, and empowered by a divine will that flows through your choices, your work, and your relationships. Your vocation becomes a daily practice of acknowledging and living from this unified state, here and now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and affirm: I am the Apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, living as one with the saints in Christ Jesus. Feel this as present reality and act from that inner alignment today.
