Neville Goddard on Acts 17:29-31 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Acts 17 in context

Scripture Focus

29Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.

30And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

31Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

Acts 17:29-31

Biblical Context

God is not an image of metal; we are God’s offspring. The passage calls all to repent because a day of judgment comes through the inner Christ within us.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the Godhead not as carved metal, but as the very I AM you awaken to. Being God’s offspring means your true self is consciousness, the living awareness that imagines and thereby creates. The times of ignorance were dream states of separation; God winks at them as you shift your attention inward. Now the command is to repent—return your mind to the one life within, not to external forms. The day of judgment he speaks of is internal: the moment you align your thoughts with righteousness by that inner master ordained in you—the Christ that you awaken as. He was raised from the dead inside you, a spiritual resurrection where you shed the tomb of belief in separation. As you dwell in the I AM, idols lose their grip and the radiance of your true nature asserts itself. The practical faith is in the now: imagine and feel yourself as the risen Christ, and your world rearranges to match that certainty.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and anchor on the I AM at your center. Silently declare, I am that I AM, and feel the risen Christ already within you—dwelling there until the sense of separation dissolves.
