Neville Goddard on 2 Corinthians 5:10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Corinthians 5 in context

Scripture Focus

10For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

2 Corinthians 5:10

Biblical Context

The verse says all must face the judgment seat of Christ and be judged according to what they have done in life, with outcomes reflecting their inner state.

Neville's Inner Vision

To 2 Corinthians 5:10, I say: The judgment seat is not a distant tribunal but the throne of your own I AM, the awareness that is always watching. Christ is your true self, not a man on a stand; He sits within the center of your consciousness. The 'things done in the body' are not transcripts of outward acts alone; they are the expressions of your inner state—habits, fears, hopes, and decisions silently living as you. When you live with an unworthy picture, that image distorts your life; when you revise to a truer man, the outer world shifts to match the inner royalty. The day you realize you are always judging yourself, you cease blaming conditions and you begin to align your imagination with the reality you desire. Your good is the alignment of your mind with truth; your bad is the misalignment. The moment you accept that the judgment is a registration by your own I AM, you unlock the power to change, right here, right now.

Practice This Now

Act: In the now, assume the feeling of your desired self as already true. Then, revise a recent scene in which you felt fallible by mentally replaying it with a positive outcome, and feel it real in your chest.
