Inner Advocate Of Forgiveness
1 John 2:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 John 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
John tells you not to sin. If sin occurs, there is an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ the righteous.
Neville's Inner Vision
View the verse as a doorway into your own consciousness. The writer points to an inner advocate—an aspect of awareness that stands before the throne of your mind. In Neville’s language, Christ the righteous is the perfected state you can presently assume—the law of your being reconciling any sense of discord. The Father represents your complete state of conscious oneness, the I AM within. When a mistaken scene appears as 'sin,' do not fight it as something apart; revise your inner picture to reflect that you are already forgiven and accepted. Assume the feeling of the I AM observing that scene with perfect calm, and watch it dissolve in the light of your true state. Practice feeling the advocate as a present-tense reality—a whisper within that says, 'You are righteous; you belong.' This is intentional inner action, not resignation. As you dwell in this acceptance, your feelings realign and the impression of separation fades, until your life naturally aligns with divine order.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: In the present moment, assume the state of being forgiven. Close your eyes, affirm, 'I am the I AM, and I am forgiven now,' and feel that truth until it becomes your living reality.
