Inner Glory Over Law's Shadow

2 Corinthians 3:7-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Corinthians 3 in context

Scripture Focus

7But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:
8How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
9For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
2 Corinthians 3:7-9

Biblical Context

The ministration of death, engraved on stones, once glowed but faded. The greater ministry of the Spirit brings righteousness and true glory.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the text, the old covenant’s glory was external—etched in stones, seen by the people only in the reflected radiance of Moses’ face. Yet that radiance was passing, a tutor pointing to a greater reality. The Spirit’s ministration, by contrast, is inward and enduring. If condemnation has a glory only as a memory of separation, then righteousness has a far greater, now-present glory. The contrast invites you to shift your center of gravity from obligation to awareness. The I AM, your true Self, does not need external approval or compliance; it requires you to perceive and dwell in your oneness with God. When you imagine yourself as the Spirit’s life within, the old fear-based judgments lose their power and the inner lamp shines brighter. This is not a future hope but a present fact: the greater glory of righteousness is resident in you here and now. Your job is to attend to that inner light until it feels natural, until the sense of separation dissolves.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, close your eyes, and assume the feeling of being the Spirit-led righteousness now. Say to yourself: 'The Spirit within me is my life; I am the I AM in whom condemnation has no power,' and let that sense sit until it feels real.
