Read Philippians 2 in context

Scripture Focus

16Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
Philippians 2:16

Biblical Context

Paul urges you to hold forth the life-giving truth so you may rejoice in the day of Christ, knowing your labor is not in vain when it rests on inner conviction.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville’s lens, the 'word of life' is not a text to recite but a living principle you are conscious of here and now. To hold it forth is to live as that truth, letting your inner light project into every act and decision. The 'day of Christ' is the instant of awakening when your I AM—your true, unconditioned awareness—recognizes itself as life itself. When this is your inner state, your labor and your striving cease to be meaningless motions and become expressions of that single life. The world moves not according to external proofs, but by your inner conviction that you are the life of God in expression. If fatigue or doubt arises, revise the feeling to the end you desire, repeat the assumption 'I am the life of God in full expression now,' and dwell in that sensation until it fills your senses. In this way, 'holding forth' becomes a continuous creation of reality from within, and nothing is done in vain.

Practice This Now

Assume and feel the reality: I am the life of God expressing fully now; imagine one concrete scene where this life shines through.
