Neville Goddard on 1 Peter 1:3-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Peter 1 in context

Scripture Focus

3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

4To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

5Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

1 Peter 1:3-5

Biblical Context

Peter proclaims that God, in mercy, has born you again into a living hope through Jesus’ resurrection, and that you possess an incorruptible, undefiled inheritance guarded in heaven for you. This salvation will be revealed in the last time.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here you are not awaiting a distant event, but recognizing the state of your own consciousness. God’s abundant mercy births you into a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ—the inner awakening that your I AM is alive and awake in the present. This birth is a shift of allegiance from lack to the truth of being, and the inheritance is not a fortune laid up somewhere in space, but an incorruptible quality of your being—undefiled, unfading, and eternally yours in the very now of awareness. Being kept by the power of God through faith means your inner sense is guarded by the steadfast Presence you call on as you trust this truth. The word through faith points to the practice of assuming and feeling the reality of your awakened nature, more than a mere belief. When you rest in this, the last time—whenever you decide to see it—unfolds as the revelation that salvation was present all along, waiting in your consciousness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and repeat, I am the living I AM, kept by power through faith. Feel the inward current of that truth, letting the sense of an incorruptible inheritance settle into your now.
