Inner Confidence for 1 John 3:20-21
1 John 3:20-21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 John 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verses set up a contrast: a condemning heart yields fear and limitation, while a heart that is not condemned opens the way to confidence toward God.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your heart's condemnation is not an external verdict but a state of consciousness you have assumed. When the inner judge speaks, you are identifying with a separated self, forgetting the I AM that you are. Yet God is greater than that verdict—the I AM knows all things and is always present as your true being. The remedy is simple: revise your state and feel it real that you are not condemned but loved, known, and safe in God. This is not about denying error but about returning to the fact that your awareness is one with God, and that consciousness governs every event. With that conviction, confidence toward God arises as a natural posture, not a prayerful errand. Practice aligns your mind with truth, so your heart drops its accusation and rises into trust. In that alignment, the self's judgment dissolves, and you walk in fearless communion with the divine I AM.
Practice This Now
Assume the state of not-condemned and feel it real: repeat, 'I am not condemned; God is greater than my heart; I am confident toward God' until the feeling settles as your experienced reality.
