Neville Goddard on Ephesians 3:17-19 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ephesians 3 in context

Scripture Focus

17That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

18May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

19And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

Ephesians 3:17-19

Biblical Context

Paul describes Christ dwelling in your heart by faith, rooted and grounded in love, so you may grasp the vast measure of love and be filled with the fullness of God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of these words as a map of your inner state. Christ is the I AM already dwelling in you; faith merely invites the inner life to become your permanent residence. When you are rooted and grounded in love, your mind stops seeking outside proofs and grows aware of the breadth, length, depth, and height of that love. The love of Christ, which passes knowledge, is not a secret to be earned but a reality to be realized within. In that realization you are filled with the fullness of God—not by effort, but by recognizing and remaining in the completed state that your I AM already holds. This is a present tense experience you can rehearse now, until your outer world mirrors the inner wholeness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, place a hand on your heart, and let the I AM say, 'I am dwelling here now.' Feel the warmth of love expanding through you and hold the sense of fullness as your present state.
