Inner Walk: Abiding as Christ
1 John 2:6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 John 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse declares that anyone who says he abides in Christ ought to walk just as Christ walked. It links belief with behavior, insisting inner union translates into outward imitation.
Neville's Inner Vision
To abide in Him is to dwell in a state of consciousness where the I AM is your governing presence. When you say you abideth in Him, you are naming the inner condition that already lives as Christ within you. Focus not on external imitation alone, but on the inner texture of awareness: love, courage, mercy, and nonresistance. In Neville’s language, your imagination is causal; it fashions a life that mirrors the inner Christ you insist upon. If you persist in the assumption that you dwell in Him, your decisions align with that divine pattern, your reactions soften, and environments shift to reflect a Christ-made mode of being. The verse becomes a call to integrity between what you affirm in consciousness and how you act in space and time; your outer walk becomes a natural expression of the inward union.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, declare 'I am abiding in Christ now,' and imagine your daily steps guided by that presence; revise every doubt into confidence and feel the reality of this inner walk as your state of being.
