Assured Life Through Belief
1 John 5:13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 John 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse states that believers can know they have eternal life by faith in the Son of God.
Neville's Inner Vision
Verse 13 invites you to realize that eternal life is not a distant prize but a present condition of the consciousness that believes. 'Eternal life' is the vitality of your I AM when it recognizes itself as the Son of God within. To 'believe on the name of the Son of God' is to identify with that inner Christ, so belief becomes not a belief about something external but a feeling of your own divine identity. The writer speaks to your inner certainty: you already possess life that cannot die because it rests in awareness. When you claim the name of the Son, you align your entire being with the living self that never ends, dissolving the sense of lack. This is not time-bound waiting; it is the awakening to the truth that your state of consciousness is the very life you seek. Let this realization illuminate every choice, every hope, and every action as an expression of your eternal, unchanging I AM.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume you already have eternal life. Revise your sense of self to the I AM that knows it, and feel it real by repeating I am the eternal life now until the truth lights your awareness.
