Neville Goddard on 1 Timothy 6:12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Timothy 6 in context

Scripture Focus

12Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

1 Timothy 6:12

Biblical Context

Paul urges Timothy to persevere in faith and seize eternal life, which he has been called to and publicly professed. The core message is internal perseverance and outward confession of that faith.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your 'fight' is a discipline of your inner life, not a battle against others. The 'good fight' is the steady keeping of a desired state in your imagination. Faith is not merely hoping for something distant; it is the state of consciousness you choose to inhabit. When you 'lay hold on eternal life' you claim a reality you already are, the timeless I AM that animates your thoughts and senses here and now. You were called to this truth; your 'professed a good profession before many witnesses' is your inner declaration made before the subconscious and the quiet, inner witnesses of your heart. Those witnesses remember because your awareness echoes into the subconscious, converting your mental state into outer conditions. The method to win is simple: persist in the assumption of the state you desire, revise any thought that contradicts it, and feel the truth of it until it becomes your lived experience. When doubt arises, return to the assumption and affirm, 'I am life eternal; I am arrived; I am free.'

Practice This Now

Practice: Sit quietly for five minutes, place a hand on your chest, and repeat 'I am the life eternal' until the feeling of already having it floods your body.
