Neville Goddard on Colossians 1:21-23 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Colossians 1 in context

Scripture Focus

21And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled

22In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:

23If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;

Colossians 1:21-23

Biblical Context

Paul tells Colossians that they were once estranged in their minds by wrong deeds, but are now reconciled through Christ, made holy in God's sight, as they remain grounded in faith and the gospel.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your mind, once estranged by unkind judgments and wicked thoughts, is not a broken vessel but a field of consciousness awaiting alignment. Colossians invites you to see that reconciliation is not a distant event but the present disposition of awareness. In the imagination’s quiet, you are already held in the body of his flesh—the symbol of unity between your true I AM and the world you perceive. When you stop negotiating with limitation and stand firm in the faith, you cease to be moved by appearances and become the living proof of the gospel in action. The “holy” state is not a moral badge you earn, but a cleared, unblameable stance your imagination attains by ruling your inner weather. Paul’s word that you are reconciled becomes your inner declaration: this is what God sees when you gaze with awareness. Let the sense of separation melt into a single, radiant I AM, and let your faith anchor you to the truth that the gospel is forever heard within you.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and declare, I AM reconciled. Visualize yourself as holy and blameless in this moment, and revise any thought of separation until it feels true.
