The Inner Good Fight
2 Timothy 4:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Timothy 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse asserts a life of steadfast perseverance: a completed path of faith achieved by inner resolve and faithful endurance. It emphasizes finishing the course and remaining faithful despite challenges.
Neville's Inner Vision
Beloved, the verse is not a history lesson but a declaration of your own inner victories. The 'good fight' is the struggle within to maintain a single, vivid sense of I AM—the awareness that you are the creator and the created. When you imagine yourself already having finished the course, and when you persist in that state, the movements of the outer world align to reflect the inner decree. Perseverance is not effort spent upon the world but a disciplined return to the consciousness that never wavers from its own reality. To 'keep the faith' is to refuse to doubt your I AM, to choose again and again the feeling that you are already what you seek, and to dwell there until the outer mirrors show up as proof. Your life becomes a drama of inner assumption, revision, and feeling it real, until the appearances conform to your inner state.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit in quiet and feel the sentence as a present fact: 'I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.' Then envision one clear action today that proves the faith is kept.
