Inner Law of Personal Accountability
2 Chronicles 25:3-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Chronicles 25 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage shows a king establishing his rule and meting out justice: he kills the servants who murdered his father, yet spares their children, honoring the Mosaic principle that each person dies for his own sin.
Neville's Inner Vision
See the outer king as your waking state of awareness, now established in a stable inner kingdom. The act of slaying the servants who killed the king’s father represents disciplining the restless thoughts and impulses that threaten your order. The line about not killing their children reveals a spiritual law: no soul pays for another’s fault; each person dies for his own sin, within his own consciousness. In Neville’s terms, the world’s consequences are not punishment meted by a distant judge but the natural results of your present assumptions and images. When you identify with a thought as the truth and act from it toward others, you perpetuate separation; when you rest in the I AM, you see that your current circumstances reflect your current state of consciousness. The kingdom’s establishment, therefore, is the moment you claim responsibility for your inner world and refuse to project guilt or vengeance onto others. By aligning with the inner law and imagining a just, orderly mind, you invite a fresh sequence of experiences that reflect your new state.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly and assume the state that this inner law is true now. Revise any sense of inherited guilt by declaring, 'I am the I AM; I am the law; I suffer only the results of my present thought, and I choose a new inner order,' and feel it real.
