Wholly Sanctified by Grace

1 Thessalonians 5:23-28 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Thessalonians 5 in context

Scripture Focus

23And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
25Brethren, pray for us.
26Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.
27I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.
28The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
1 Thessalonians 5:23-28

Biblical Context

Paul speaks of God setting you apart in all you are, keeping you blameless until Christ comes, and of God's faithfulness to complete the work; he also invites prayer, warmth, and grace among believers.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the scene is not a distant ordinance but a state of consciousness. The God of peace is the I AM within you, the steady ground where your spirit, your soul, and your body are kept in harmony. 'Sanctify you wholly' means your entire being is set into a single, serene condition of awareness—a wholeness that cannot be broken by fear or time. When Paul says God will do it, he is pointing to the undeniable law of consciousness: your call toward wholeness will be answered by your own inner conviction and feeling-tones. The prayer for others, the holy greeting, and the grace are practices that fix you in this state, making the inner reality outwardly manifest. To read this epistle is to align with a communal rhythm of completeness, where every heart is touched by the same living grace. Trust in the fidelity of your inner call; the moment you assume this wholeness, your life follows as a natural expression of peace.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume your entire being is sanctified by the God of peace, feeling the grace saturate every part of you. Then silently bless and greet your brethren in your heart, letting the inner kiss seal the harmony.
