Neville Goddard on Ephesians 3:1-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ephesians 3 in context

Scripture Focus

1For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,

2If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:

3How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,

4Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

5Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

6That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

Ephesians 3:1-6

Biblical Context

Paul declares that Gentiles are welcomed into the same spiritual body by grace, through a revelation of the Spirit. The inner message is that all are one in Christ, united by consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine that the apostle Paul is not a man of history but a state of consciousness within you. The banner 'prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles' is your awareness held by the I AM in service to every aspect of yourself you call Gentile—those parts not yet realized as one. 'Dispensation of the grace' is the present hour when grace is unveiled to your mind as immediate understanding, not a distant doctrine. The 'mystery' that was hidden appears now as your own inner knowledge: the Gentiles (your separated qualities) are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ by the gospel. This is not outside you; it is your inner alignment, your recognition that the entire creation shares the same life—Spirit moving as you. As you read or recall the verse, let Spirit reveal this unity within your awareness; let the sense of separation collapse into wholeness. The gospel is simply the good news that you are already in the Kingdom, already united, awaiting your conscious acknowledgement.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and feel, I am one with all Life; Gentiles and every part of me are fellow heirs in the Body. Dwell in that state for a few minutes and read the verse again, seeing the mystery as your inner experience.
