Inner Unity Through Grace

Acts 15:7-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Acts 15 in context

Scripture Focus

7And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
8And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;
9And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
10Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11But we believe that through the grace of the LORD Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
Acts 15:7-11

Biblical Context

Peter declares that God chose that the Gentiles hear the gospel and believe, and that God knows hearts by giving the Holy Spirit. He asserts there is no difference between us and them, purified by faith, and that salvation comes by grace.

Neville's Inner Vision

Inside the inner courtroom of your mind there has been much disputing about who belongs in the gospel. Peter, the awakened state within you, rises to remind you that God chose that the Gentiles should hear the word and believe through your own mouth of expression. God, who knows hearts, bears witness by pouring out the Holy Spirit, just as He did for you, a sign that purification comes by faith rather than by works. The impulse to place a yoke on others--an image of limitation--arises as fear, trying to shrink your consciousness. But the Christ within declares that you are saved by grace through the Lord Jesus Christ, and this grace applies to every aspect of your being. There is no difference in God's sight between self and other; all are unified in the one Spirit when faith is consciously held. When you grasp this, you release the inner decree of separation and enter the living presence of God here and now, where every heart is known and welcomed by grace.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume for a moment that you are already united with God by grace; in that feeling, declare 'There is no difference between me and my brothers and sisters', and feel the Holy Spirit flowing through your heart now.
