Grace and Peace Within
2 Thessalonians 1:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Thessalonians 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul, Silvanus, and Timotheus greet the Thessalonians with a blessing of grace and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Neville's Inner Vision
Imagine the names Paul, Silvanus, and Timotheus as inner facets of your own consciousness—will, imagination, and memory—speaking to an inner church: the state that 'dwells' in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ within. The church of the Thessalonians becomes your personal assembly of thoughts and feelings gathered in alignment. Grace unto you and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, are not distant favors but the vibrational atmosphere your awareness assumes when you remember you are not separate from the I AM. Grace is the lavish acceptance of your true nature, freely bestowed by the Father, felt as a warm expansion of heart and a widening of possibility. Peace is the settled mind, the inward rest that arises when you cease arguing with lack and recognize you dwell in the Lord Jesus Christ—awareness itself. Read through Neville: you are always within the flow of grace and peace insofar as you acknowledge your oneness with that divine source.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume you already live in grace and peace, as if you have just received them from the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ within. Revise quietly: 'I am Grace; I am Peace,' and feel the dwelling warmth of that awareness.
