Inner Milk of Grace
1 Peter 2:1-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Peter 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Peter instructs believers to lay aside malice, guile, hypocrisy, envy, and evil speech, and to crave the sincere milk of the word so they may grow, having tasted that the Lord is gracious. This nourishment fosters growth in grace.
Neville's Inner Vision
Let me lay it out as Neville would: this is not about external rules but about your inner state. Lay aside malice, guile, hypocrisies, envies, and evil speakings as you shed worn garments. Then you are invited to taste the sincere milk of the word—the nourishment that feeds your newborn consciousness. To taste that the Lord is gracious is to taste your own divine possibility; grace becomes your natural atmosphere, not an external gift. As you dwell in that inner state, growth happens automatically: reactions soften, discernment deepens, and fidelity to your inner reality becomes your guide. The growth is not primarily in changing others but in expanding awareness; the word nourishes perception, and your imagination can revise and feel-realize this grace until your entire orientation shifts toward love, truth, and discernment. Your life then reflects that inner harvest: a gentler, wiser, more faithful expression.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and declare, I lay aside malice and guile; I hunger for the word as nourishment, and I am growing in grace. Sit with that feeling until your I AM expands to embrace it.
