Grace and Peace Within You
2 Thessalonians 1:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Thessalonians 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse blesses you with grace and peace as a gift from the divine Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. It presents these blessings as inner conditions available to you in the present moment.
Neville's Inner Vision
Grace is not a distant gift; it is the atmosphere of your I AM. Peace is the quiet sense of being that settles when you stop seeking externally and acknowledge that God, the Father of your awareness, is the source of all blessing. The Lord Jesus Christ in this reading is the living Christ within—your awakened mind that recognizes and accepts grace as already yours. Therefore, these words announce your inner state rather than a future transaction: grace as favor extended by your own I AM, peace as the stable rhythm of consciousness that rests in that recognition. When you dwell in this double recognition, you invite the flow of grace into every image and thought, and peace becomes the natural condition of the self that knows itself as God-aware. The verse asks you to align with the truth that you are the bearer of grace and peace, not because you earned them, but because you are—the I AM with Christ within.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly and repeat 'I AM Grace; I AM Peace.' Feel the realization as your own present consciousness, and allow it to revise every sense of lack.
