Earnest Inheritance Insight
Ephesians 1:14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ephesians 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse declares that the Spirit is the earnest, a guaranteed portion of our future inheritance, kept until full redemption, and aimed at praising God's glory. It points to an inner certainty that sustains us until the complete manifestation of what is already ours in God.
Neville's Inner Vision
Know this, dear one: the earnest is not some distant payment; it is the present-seal of your awareness—the I AM within you—the guarantee of your inheritance in God. The purchased possession is your own consciousness, claimed by your steady alignment with divine presence. Until redemption reveals it fully in form, this seal remains the witness that your true wealth cannot be lost. When you recognize that you are the very possibility of God expressed, you honor the divine process and the praise of His glory becomes your natural utterance. Imagination does not chase external riches; it reclaims what you already are in God. The Spirit’s work is a gentle remembrance, a reassurance that your soul is held in the One, and any outward challenge is but a shadow that dissolves the moment you accept this truth as your reality.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and repeat, 'I am the earnest of my inheritance; I am already purchased by God.' Feel this certainty as a present reality settling into your heart, then carry that feeling into your daily moments.
