Neville Goddard on 2 John 1:7-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 John 1 in context

Scripture Focus

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:

2 John 1:7-10

Biblical Context

The letter warns that deceivers deny Jesus come in the flesh and urges us to guard what we’ve wrought by staying in the doctrine of Christ and not welcoming counterfeit teachings.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this brief letter, the deceivers are not distant villains but states of consciousness pressing to occupy your awareness. The confession that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is the living realization that God is with you, not a mere historic fact. To abide in the doctrine of Christ is to abide in that inner Christ—Father and Son dwelling as your very I AM. When some teaching or impulse denies this inner presence, it is a deceiver, an antichrist in your mind, for it would separate you from the source of your life. "Look to yourselves"—you are called to examine which thoughts you feed and which you invite to govern your days. If you let counterfeit notions take root, you forfeit the full reward of your work in consciousness. But if you remain in the doctrine of Christ, you keep God present within and receive the Father and the Son as your reality. The practice is simple: identify the state that contradicts the Christ within and revise your thought until your inner governor remains fixed in that truth.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the state 'The Father and the Son dwell within me' and revise every thought that denies it; feel this truth as my present reality by affirming, 'I AM one with Christ' until it is felt.
