Grace Through Inner Glory
1 Peter 5:10-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Peter 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Peter declares that God, the God of all grace, calls us to eternal glory through Christ Jesus. After a period of suffering, He will perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle us.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this brief letter you are not traveling toward a distant end, you are waking to a living state. The 'God of all grace' is the I AM you are when you center your attention. The call to 'eternal glory by Christ Jesus' is the inner recognition that Christ within you is your eternal fact, not a future reward. The 'after that ye have suffered a while' is the mind's release from old identities; through imagining the sensation of suffering, you are invited to revise. When you dwell in the feeling of grace, you are made perfect in mind, established upon a rock of steady awareness, strengthened in your inner vision, and settled into a quiet dominion that no outer condition can unsettle. The apostle's doxology—To him be glory and dominion forever—becomes your own acknowledgment of the I AM's sovereign rule in you. Do not seek it elsewhere; imagine the state and let the state of grace do the work. Your present sense of lack is the shadow of the old belief; invoke the new self and watch reality yield.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume the state now—perfected, established, strengthened, settled by grace. For five minutes, feel it real, repeating quietly: I am the I AM, I am settled in grace through Christ Jesus.
