Inner Love Taught By God
1 Thessalonians 4:9-10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Thessalonians 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage affirms that brotherly love is taught by God within believers and already expressed toward all in their circle; they are urged to increase it more and more.
Neville's Inner Vision
Beloved, you are not waiting for love to arrive from outside; the text says you yourselves are taught of God to love one another, a fact about your inner state. See every brother or sister as a reflection of your own God-taught nature, an invitation to enlarge the circumference of your inner Macedonia. In Neville's key, love is a state of consciousness you cultivate by identifying with the indwelling I AM as the source of affection. When you hold the vision that you already love all of your 'brethren,' that feeling becomes your habitual mood, and cooperation, harmony, and goodwill follow as natural reflections. The directive to increase more and more is not a demand for strain but a revision of your sense of who you are: widen the sense of who is included in your circle, then imagine it extending beyond, until unity becomes the norm in your inner life and in your outer world. Remember: God within you creates reality through your inner assumption; let your awareness do the work of social birth.
Practice This Now
Assume the feeling, 'I am love now, and I love all my brothers and sisters.' Then silently revise any sense of separation by imagining the entire Macedonia of your life as one warm, united family.
