Neville Goddard on 1 Timothy 2:3-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Timothy 2 in context

Scripture Focus

3For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

4Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

1 Timothy 2:3-4

Biblical Context

God's desire is salvation for all and that all come to the knowledge of the truth. The verse calls this good and acceptable in the sight of God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the inner eye, this passage is not about distant persons but about your own state of consciousness. God our Saviour is the I AM—the living awareness that never forgets itself. The words 'will have all men to be saved' become a law of your inner life: the whole universe of your thoughts and feelings is invited to awaken to truth. 'All men' points to every aspect of you that longs for harmony, wholeness, and understanding; the inner pull toward knowledge of the truth is the spiritual motion of your own being toward realization. Saving, then, is not a rescue from without but a rising into the awareness that you already are in God. When you dwell in the conviction that your I AM is the truth of your existence, sense of separation dissolves and you begin to encompass others within the luminous field of your awareness. The divine will to save is the will to awaken within your consciousness until truth shines as your immediate experience. Imagination becomes the instrument by which this plan manifests in form.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, repeat 'I AM' as your true identity, and revise any sense of lack by affirming that all are waking to truth within your consciousness. Then allow that realization to unfold as present experience.
