Neville’s Reading in All Things Are Possible 1
God's plan of salvation, a 'good work,' is initiated within the individual at a moment of mystical ecstasy and will inevitably unfold to its predestined completion.
At the moment of sheer ecstasy God began a good work in you, and He will bring it to completion as His predestined state unfolds from within!

Neville’s Reading in Be Imitators Of God
This verse signifies that God's work of transforming man into His perfect image is an ongoing process that will culminate in the full revelation of Christ within the individual, making them reflect God's glory.
God began the good work in you and when he brings it to completion on the day of Jesus Christ, you will reflect the glory of God and bear the express image of his person.

Neville’s Reading in Building Your Temple
The 'He' who began the good work is the individual's own deeper self, God within, who will bring the spiritual journey to its completion, revealing the individual's divine identity.
He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

Neville’s Reading in Christ Unveiled
God's work within each individual is a guaranteed process of transformation, culminating in the 'day of Jesus Christ' when the individual fully conforms to and becomes the 'image of the invisible God,' achieving oneness with the Father.
“He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” So the day is coming when that moment in time you are the image of that invisible God, God is bringing forth. He can’t bring you forth until you conform to the image of the invisible God, for you must be one with your Father.

Neville’s Reading in Family Portrait
The divine process initiated within an individual will culminate in the unveiling of their true identity as the Lord Jesus Christ, which is their own wonderful human imagination.
“For he, who began the good work in you will bring it to completion at the unveiling in you of the Lord Jesus Christ,” as you. (Philippians 1:6 RSV)

Neville’s Reading in Love Endureth
Love, as the essence of God, is the initiator and completer of the divine work within each individual, leading to their ultimate transformation into Christ.
It was love who began a good work in you and it is love that will bring it to completion on the day of Jesus Christ.
