Inner Salutation and Grace
Colossians 4:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Colossians 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse records Paul signing with his own hand, asking you to remember his bonds, and blessing you with grace, ending with Amen. It is a personal, intimate farewell.
Neville's Inner Vision
This closing line becomes a living map of inner states. The salutation by the hand of Paul is the I AM writing to you from within, a personal address from your highest self. 'Remember my bonds' invites you to acknowledge the 'bonds' you currently accept—the beliefs and conditions you mistake for reality. In Neville’s psychology, these bonds are not external chains but the locked habits of consciousness. To awaken, imitate Paul’s gesture by assuming the authority of your inner I AM, the one who can write any scene into your life with its own hand. 'Grace be with you' is not future grace but the atmosphere your consciousness concedes as present. Dwell in the felt sense of grace here and now—the uplift, ease, and sense of being held by the unlimited I AM. The Amen seals the practice, a conscious affirmation that your inner state is the source of all appearances.
Practice This Now
Assume the state of grace now: feel the I AM writing your life with confident hands; revise any sense of bondage as melted by grace, and affirm internally, 'Grace is with me now.'
