Inner Mercy and Quickening
Ephesians 2:4-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ephesians 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul declares that God, rich in mercy and great love, awakens us from spiritual death. He quickens us with Christ by grace and raises us into new life.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this reading the mind discovers God as the I AM within you—rich in mercy, not a distant deity, the ever-present awareness. His great love wherewith he loved us is the pull of your inner affection toward your true self. Even when we were dead in sins, He quickened us together with Christ. The phrase by grace ye are saved reveals that salvation is not a payment but a revision of assumption—an inner alignment with life rather than an outer rescue. The process is entirely psychological: you shift from the belief of death to the belief of life by identifying with the consciousness that loves you and holds you as one with Christ. Mercy is not earned; it is the already-present attitude of I AM expressing as you. When you dwell in that awareness, the dead past loses its grip and you rise into a continuous, awakened state.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and revise your sense of self: assume you are already quickened and saved by grace, here and now, and feel life rise within you.
