Neville Goddard on Ephesians 4:15-16 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ephesians 4 in context

Scripture Focus

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 4:15-16

Biblical Context

Truth spoken in love edifies and grows the body. The image of a united body points to inner alignment and cooperative consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the Christ within as your I AM, the head guiding every faculty. When you insist that truth be spoken in love—not to win an argument but to heal, uplift, and harmonize your inner state—you align thoughts, feelings, and actions with that head. The 'body' is the single field of your consciousness, not a crowd of separate parts; let each joint supply its energy to the others and feel the measure of every part as mutual support. By treating others as expressions of the one I AM, the effectual working operates and the body grows in love, edifying itself. The move is to assume the feeling of unity: perceive the bond, speak from that unity, and watch harmony ripple through your life. Do not argue with your present state; revise toward wholeness, choosing awareness over circumstance.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: In stillness, assume the I AM as the head and speak truth in love to your inner parts. Feel the joints of your consciousness knitting together, and rest in the unity that results.
