Neville Goddard on 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Thessalonians 2 in context

Scripture Focus

16Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,

17Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.

2 Thessalonians 2:16-17

Biblical Context

God and Jesus, who love us, grant everlasting consolation and good hope through grace; this comforts the heart and establishes us in every good word and work.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this blessing lies the claim that all comfort and establishment are inner states, not external signs. The verse speaks of the Lord Jesus Christ and God, the Father, loving us and giving everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, and the task is to awaken to that truth in your own consciousness. In Neville's terms these are states of awareness: the I AM within you, the living presence that loves you, granting everlasting consolation and good hope as you rest in it. When you accept this inner gift, you become anchored in a new rhythm of being—comfort rising in the heart and establishment taking root in every word and work. The clause through grace points to your natural birthright, realized by inner revision and imagining the fulfilled state as real. As you dwell in that state of being loved, outer circumstances soften, and life begins to align with the inner steadying.

Practice This Now

Assume the state now: you are comforted and established in grace. Feel that inner presence steady your heart and align every word and deed with that established state.
