Neville Goddard on Ephesians 4:13-16 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ephesians 4 in context

Scripture Focus

13Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

14That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

15But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

16From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

Ephesians 4:13-16

Biblical Context

The verses urge believers to mature into a unified consciousness, recognizing the Christ within as the measure of true growth. They warn against being tossed by every new doctrine and invite steady, loving truth that builds the inner self.

Neville's Inner Vision

Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ, is fulfilled within your inner state. Unity of faith is the alignment of your whole consciousness with the Son of God already present as your I AM. The winds of doctrine and the sly tricks of the world are internal currents that you dissolve by acknowledging you are one Life, one Body, one Christ within. To speak the truth in love becomes consistent self-communication that confirms the inner fact: I am one with Christ, I am the fullness of Him. As each inner joint—thought, feeling, imagination—contributes, the mind coheres and edifies itself in love. Growth is not a pursuit in time but a rise in consciousness; your life expands as you rest in the truth of your oneness, becoming the measure of Christ’s stature in daily experience.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, assume the inner state of oneness with Christ—‘I and the Father are one’—and feel your entire mind-body joined and edifying itself in love as the true you.
