Inner Foundation and Cornerstone
Ephesians 2:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ephesians 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Believers are described as established on a fixed foundation formed by the inner witness of apostles and prophets, with Jesus Christ as the chief cornerstone anchoring all.
Neville's Inner Vision
On the inner map, the phrase foundation of the apostles and prophets reveals your life is built from steady inner practices, not external happenstance. The apostles and prophets symbolize faculties of perception and revelation working within you—your capacity to trust truth, to imagine faithfully, and to discern what holds. Jesus Christ himself, the chief cornerstone, is the I AM—the unshakable awareness that centers and orders all experience. When you see your world as the structure that your consciousness erects, you stop seeking outward approval and begin to align inwardly with the rock of awareness. The “foundation” is not a past event but a present state you continuously attend to; the wall and roof rise as you cultivate certainty, gratefulness, and steadfast trust in what you perceive within. Prophecy and promise become your ongoing inner conversation: you imagine the good, you revise the unwanted, and you feel it real now because the source is within. Your faith is simply the discipline of assuming the end in mind and trusting that Christ-in-you holds every brick in place.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and, as you breathe, feel the ground of awareness supporting you. Repeat inwardly, 'I am the foundation; Christ within is the cornerstone,' and imagine a steady construction of your life arising from that awareness.
