Neville Goddard on Acts 24:14-15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Acts 24 in context

Scripture Focus

14But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:

15And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.

Acts 24:14-15

Biblical Context

Paul confesses his worship of the God of his fathers and his fidelity to the law and the prophets. He expresses hope in the resurrection of the dead, both for the just and the unjust.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the way is a state of inner awareness, not a dogma to argue about. Paul’s confession reveals that worship is not a ritual outwardly, but an alignment with the God of his fathers—the I AM at the center of consciousness—by living in harmony with the inner law and the prophets. In Neville’s sense, the God he worships is the I AM within, and the law and the prophets are the dependable order of imagination and feeling. The resurrection thus becomes an inner revision: the dead aspects of life—habit, fear, limitation—are revived into life by that unwavering inner truth. The promise extends to all, for the resurrection of the just and unjust speaks of an inner capability to awaken life regardless of outward judgments. The outer world may call this a heresy, but the truth endures: your inner state determines your outer experience, and hope functions as a forward-facing faith that asserts life is always ready to emerge from within.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled: I am resurrection now. Then softly picture the dead parts of me rising into living expression and let the inner law renew my days.
