Neville Goddard on 2 John 1:1-13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 John 1 in context

Scripture Focus

1The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;

2For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.

3Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

4I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.

5And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.

6And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.

7For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

8Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.

9Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.

10If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:

11For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

12Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.

13The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.

2 John 1:1-13

Biblical Context

The elder speaks to the elect lady and her children, affirming truth as the enduring reality among them; he urges walking in truth, loving one another, and guarding against deceivers who deny Christ.

Neville's Inner Vision

You have always lived in the truth you now discover. The elder calls you the elect within, for the truth dwells in your consciousness and is with you for ever. Grace, mercy, and peace flow to the one who remembers the Father and the Son as one in truth and love. To walk in truth is to align your life with a timeless commandment you heard from the beginning: love one another by living the principle you already know. This love is not sentiment but the faithful obedience of walking after the divine commandments. The deceivers spoken of are only thoughts that doubt your Christ-consciousness—those insinuations that Jesus did not come in the flesh are simply beliefs that you have not embodied. Guard your inner house by refusing to entertain counterfeit ideas; do not bid them God-speed, for to do so is to part yourself from your true self. Your joy is full when you remain in the doctrine of Christ—the unity of Father and Son within you. Look inward now, and you will discover that all you sought is already yours as you dwell in truth.
