Inner Confession, Outer God

1 John 4:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 John 4 in context

Scripture Focus

2Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
1 John 4:2

Biblical Context

Plain summary: The verse teaches that the Spirit of God is known by confessing that Jesus is come in the flesh. This points to an inner realization that the Christ within has taken form in your life.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your present state of consciousness is the revealer of the Spirit. When you affirm that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, you are not invoking a distant event but shifting attention to the indwelling I AM as the visible form you wear. The flesh represents the ordinary scenes of life; the Christ is the inner awareness that animates them. To know God is not to seek elsewhere, but to realize that the divine Presence has taken expression here and now. The confession 'Jesus Christ is come in the flesh' becomes a practical revision of identity: you acknowledge that the infinite, the all-knowing I AM, has assumed human form as you. This is an act of faith that travels from idea to feeling, from belief to embodied experience. As you repeatedly imagine and feel the Presence as already real, you withdraw trust from lack and place it in the One who lives as you. Do not chase external signs; awaken to the unchanging reality that you are the temple where God dwells.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Assume the statement 'I am Christ in the flesh now' and feel it real for several minutes. Revise every doubt until your perception shifts to the Presence within.
