Neville Goddard on 2 Peter 1:1-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Peter 1 in context

Scripture Focus

1Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:

2Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

3According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

4Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

2 Peter 1:1-4

Biblical Context

Peter writes to those who share a precious faith with the apostles, promising grace and peace through the knowledge of God and Jesus. God’s divine power has supplied everything needed for life and godliness, and through these promises we become partakers of the divine nature, escaping worldly corruption.

Neville's Inner Vision

Peter’s message is a guide for the interior life. The faith he writes about is your state of consciousness, not a creed you argue about. Grace and peace are multiplied as you become aware of the God and Lord within you. Divine power has already supplied all that concerns life and godliness; the evidence is found in your awareness, in the knowledge of Him who has called you to glory and virtue. The 'exceeding great and precious promises' are invitations to stand in a dimension where you already possess them, so that you may partake of the divine nature and escape the corruption of this world by moving from suspicion to certainty. If you repeatedly insist that the promises are true for you, you will awaken as the one who already holds and uses them. The outer world will reflect the inner alignment, and what you see as fate is simply your inner assumption becoming the visible.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and adopt the feeling of 'I AM' as your constant. Then declare: 'Grace and peace are multiplied within me; I already possess life and godliness through the knowledge of God.' Hold that feeling for a few breaths and let it rewrite your sense of reality.
