Ephesians 6:5-6

Biblical Context

The passage asks servants to be obedient to their earthly masters with sincerity, not for show, but from the heart, as unto Christ.

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 5–6 invites you to read 'servant' and 'master' as inner states, not merely social roles. Obedience is the alignment of your I AM with the will moving through life, not a blind compliance to another’s whim. When you move with singleness of heart, you stop playing to appearances and tune your consciousness to the one reality: the will of God within you. To do the will of God from the heart means you rise above eyeservice and act from inner principle. The servant of Christ becomes the inner faculty that faithfully serves the divine intention, regardless of outward authority. Treat outer duties as occasions to prove your unity with that inner purpose, and let every action flow from inner communion. In this light, outward hierarchy dissolves into the order of consciousness, and obedience becomes a natural expression of your I AM living as Christ within.

Practice This Now

Take a moment now to revise your sense of duty: imagine you are the inner master directing every action. Repeat 'I am obedient to the will of God within me' and feel the heart align with that divine purpose.
