Neville Goddard on Acts 25:16 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Acts 25 in context

Scripture Focus

16To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him.

Acts 25:16

Biblical Context

Paul notes that the Romans do not kill before the accused has faced the accusers and been allowed to defend himself. This mirrors the inner law of consciousness, where true justice requires a face-to-face confrontation and a chance to revise.

Neville's Inner Vision

Acts 25:16 speaks to a law deeper than Rome. The Romans in the text are your fixed patterns of mind—habit, fear, judgment—while the accused is your current self-image exposed to light. The demand that accusers face the accused is a call to meet every thought squarely, with attention rather than reactivity. When you imagine you have the license to answer, you exercise the creative power that belongs to I AM: you revise the scene from limitation into truth. Justice, in this sense, is not an external verdict but an inner alignment of awareness with a new assumption. As you stand face-to-face with your charge and refuse to flee, you discover that seeing transforms being; the outer world shifts to reflect the new state you affirm inwardly. Your inner court clears away fear and leaves you free to inhabit the truth of your infinite, observing self.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: sit quietly, assume you are the inner judge and face the accuser. Grant it license to speak, then revise the verdict to 'not guilty' of limitation and feel that truth now.
