Inner Path to Purity
2 Timothy 2:22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Timothy 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
2 Timothy 2:22 urges you to flee youthful desires and pursue the virtues of righteousness, faith, charity, and peace, especially in fellowship with those who call on the Lord with a pure heart.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your verse does not command an outer renunciation alone; it invites you to awaken to a new state of consciousness. Youthful lusts are not only urges; they are a mental weather pattern that says you are limited by appetite. Flee them not by fighting them, but by turning your attention to a higher habitual state—righteousness, faith, charity, and peace. When you occupy that state, you find yourself drawn to others who call on the Lord from a pure heart, and you experience harmony rather than separation. The I AM in you, the awareness that never changes, can be used to revise what you take to be real. See yourself already righteous, faithful, charitable, and at peace, not because you resisted something, but because you chose to live within a new inner atmosphere. Your environment will adjust as your inner state becomes vivid; your relationships, humor, and actions align with that pure intention. The call to the Lord becomes a present sensation of unity, not a distant command.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the state of righteousness, faith, charity, and peace as already yours. Picture yourself in the company of those who call on the Lord from a pure heart, feeling that unity now.
