Neville Goddard on 2 Peter 1:3-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Peter 1 in context

Scripture Focus

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 1:3-4

Biblical Context

2 Peter 1:3-4 states that God's power has given us all we need for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him, and that through these promises we become partakers of the divine nature, escaping the corruption of the world.

Neville's Inner Vision

Read as Neville: The verse reveals that the divine power already resident in you provides every provision for life and godliness, and it arrives through your awakening to the Knowing of Him who called you to glory and virtue. The 'knowledge of Him' is not mere doctrine but the inner recognition that you are the I AM— the very awareness that makes all things possible. The 'exceeding great and precious promises' are inner assurances you actively accept and dwell in; by living from those promises you become a partaker of the divine nature, not by external striving but by aligning your attention and feeling with truth. The phrase having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust becomes a description of the liberty achieved when your longing is redirected toward the eternal, toward virtue, wisdom, and peace. Your task is to assume the present fact of your blessed state, revise any inharmonious belief, and feel the reality of your divine being as your current experience.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: For five minutes, close your eyes and silently declare, I am the divine nature now, feeling that truth as a present sensation. If distraction arises, revise it by affirming, Not I, I am, and return to the felt sense of possession.
