Witness Within: Belief as Reality

1 John 5:10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 John 5 in context

Scripture Focus

10He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
1 John 5:10

Biblical Context

Believing in the Son of God carries a witness within your own mind. Doubting God’s record is like calling Him a liar.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your scriptural witness is not a distant law but a state of consciousness you inhabit. The Son of God is the perfect awareness already present in you; to believe on the Son is to align with this inner truth and let its light saturate every thought, feeling, and perception. When you accept the record God gave of His Son, you accept the divine pattern within you—the implicit promise of salvation and wholeness in present experience. Doubt acts as a liar because it denies the inner witness you truly are. By turning attention inward and assuming the truth of this record, you awaken the witness in your mind—the steady certainty that you are now that Son, that God’s word is true of you, and that your life naturally unfolds from this inner identification. Practice a daily revision: declare, 'I am the witness of the Son within; the record is true of me; my life now reflects that truth.'

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: sit with eyes closed; assume the feeling of the witness within; mentally repeat: 'I am the witness of the Son within; God's record is true of me,' and imagine your day arising from this certainty.
