Neville Goddard on Ephesians 4:1-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ephesians 4 in context

Scripture Focus

1I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,

2With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;

3Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

4There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

5One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

6One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

Ephesians 4:1-6

Biblical Context

Paul urges a life worthy of the calling, clothed in humility, patience, and love, to maintain the Spirit's unity in peace. He emphasizes that there is one body, one Spirit, and one hope.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville’s seeing, these words are an inner invitation: you are not merely living a human life but standing as the I AM within a single, undivided Body. The ‘prisoner of the Lord’ becomes the awareness that holds itself in the truth that the one Spirit is yours as much as mine; the vocation is the present feeling of your divine state, not a distant task. Walk worthy means align your inner posture with the unity already guaranteed by the Spirit. Lowliness, meekness, longsuffering—these are not external virtues but inner dispositions you cultivate by assuming the state of harmony you seek. For there is one body, one Spirit, one hope—an inner architecture that cannot be broken by appearances. When you revise your sense of self to the truth of oneness, you discover that God, Father of all, is not above you and within you, but within your very awareness as the I AM. The outer plot of events mirrors your inner alignment, and peace becomes your natural atmosphere.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and dwell in the feeling 'I am the body of Christ; we are one.' See every thought and event as expressions of the one Spirit; revise the sense of separation into unity.
