Neville Goddard on Ephesians 2:13-18 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ephesians 2 in context

Scripture Focus

13But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

14For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

15Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

16And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

17And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

18For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

Ephesians 2:13-18

Biblical Context

Paul says the distant are brought near by Christ's blood. Christ is our peace, breaking down the wall between people and uniting them into one body, so all have access to the Father by the Spirit.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice the language as a map of your inner state. Far off is a felt separation; in Christ Jesus means aligning with the I AM within. The blood is the life-energy of awareness poured into your imagination, cleansing old concepts and dissolving the middle wall of partition—those stubborn beliefs that keep you apart from others or from God. In this inner economy, enmity is abolished by a shift to a new order of being: two doth make one, a new man formed by the unity of consciousness rather than by external rules. By the cross you reconcile yourself to God, letting go of rivalry and embracing a single body of life. The preacher’s peace visits you as you acknowledge you are already included by one Spirit unto the Father. The shift is accomplished within; your daily world will reflect the harmony you allow into your imagination.

Practice This Now

Assume you are already reconciled and at peace; feel the presence of the Father by the Spirit; revise any sense of separation and carry the image of one body with you.
